Have you seen my patch?  getopt only reorders the arguments that
it has already processed.  So, if you detect --args, and break out
of the argument-processing loop, argv[optind] is equal to the
target name, and argv[optind+1] ... argv[argc-1] are the
target's arguments.

How are you handling the fact that you don't know what the target
is until far later in the code?
