Subject: Re: parsing unknown options

Thanks for the answers. I decided to take an approach similar to 
building my own parser, but keeping my two steps approach:
- first:

  ARGV.each_with_index do |s, i|
    plugin=args[i+1] if s=='-p' or s=='--plugin' or s=~/-\w*p/
  end

(this should take care of the three possible formats: short option, long 
option and several short options together, such as -abp plugin

- load the plugin
- use OptionParser to rescan the options

I'm still working on how to communicate the options recognized by the 
plugin to the main program.

Stefano
