Popt seems to be orphaned upstream, not to mention how long it would
take for this bugfix to propagate out to users even if not...
I think our only reasonable choices are "ship our popt" (like we already
ship lua, crypto++, bits of boost, sqlite, libidn, and netxx), or
"find another library and ship that" (not much better, unless someone
finds a library that's a lot better than popt... but all this pointer
twiddling still does make me nervous :-)).
