 * PL_GetNextOpt
 *
 * When this function returns PL_OPT_OK, 
 * - opt->option will hold the single-character option name that was parsed, 
 *   or zero.  
 * When opt->option is zero, the token parsed was either a "long" (keyword) 
 *   option or a positional parameter.  
 * For a positional parameter, 
 * - opt->longOptIndex will contain -1, and
 * - opt->value will point to the positional parameter string.
 * For a long option name, 
 * - opt->longOptIndex will contain the non-negative index of the 
 *   PLLongOpt structure in the caller's array of PLLongOpt structures 
 *   corresponding to the long option name, and 
 * For a single-character or long option, 
 * - opt->longOption will contain the value of the single-character option
 *   name, or the value of the longOption from the PLLongOpt structure
 *   for that long option.  See notes below.
 * - opt->value will point to the argument option string, or will
 *   be NULL if option does not require argument.  If option requires
 *   argument but it is not provided, PL_OPT_BAD is returned.
 * When opt->option is non-zero, 
 * - opt->longOptIndex will be -1
 * When this function returns PL_OPT_EOL, or PL_OPT_BAD, the contents of
 *   opt are undefined.
 *
 * Notes: It is possible to ignore opt->option, and always look at 
 *   opt->longOption instead.  opt->longOption will contain the same value
 *   as opt->option for single-character option names, and will contain the
 *   value of longOption from the PLLongOpt structure for long option names.
 * This means that it is possible to equivalence long option names to 
 *   single character names by giving the longOption in the PLLongOpt struct
 *   the same value as the single-character option name.  
 * For long options that are NOT intended to be equivalent to any single-
 *   character option, the longOption value should be chosen to not match 
 *   any possible single character name.  It might be advisable to choose
 *   longOption values greater than 0xff for such long options.
