The argv[] elements are copied into a string allocated here. The number
of bytes needed is calculated before the option parsing, so the space
allocated here unnecessarily includes the space for the options. Not a
big deal, but I think it's more consistent to move the option parsing
before calculating the needed buffer space.

I just created a patch to support '+' as the first character of
optstring. This allows you to use regular getopt for option parsing
here.
