+values.
+
+This function adheres to the POSIX syntax for command line options, with GNU
+extensions.  In general, this means that options have long names instead of
+single letters, and are introduced with a double dash \"--\".  Support for
+bundling of command line options, as was the case with the more traditional
+single-letter approach, is provided but not enabled by default.")

The patch looks good, but is dual perl/gpl licensed according to the
README and lib/Getopt/Long.pm.

I updated the license information and committed as
e681e347c4ed071db88442c2c592241ea0f43857. Thanks!
