I think Windows is the only modern version of the commonly used operating systems that is lacking getopt_long(). We need to jump back in time to old versions of BSD probably to find the need / proper test-system.

With gnulib infrastructure in place, it is easy to add other features that might be missing in different target operating systems in the future.
