accept option arguments (even in enum)

Hi there,

long time was passing by since my last mail. It actually means the current version suffices our needs quite very well. Actually it is a good piece of work! Congratulation.

Now we have run into a problem. gengetopt denies special characters (ie. symbols like '-' or '+') in enum option values and in default values as well suspectedly.

We would like to have a filter option which filters out/in the specified type of records. We thought it was quite natural to do it in the following way:

option  "filter"  f 
    "include or exclude the given type in case of leading '-' or '+', respectively."
    multiple enum
    values="-unspecified","-ok","-incompatible","-missing","-other",
           "+unspecified","+ok","+incompatible","+missing","+other",
           "problematic","all"
    default="problematic"
    optional

What do you think? gengetopt should enable symbols in enums or should we rephrase our idea? Please note that this option is multiple enum, so the real strength of this approach that custom mixed filter definitions can be described this way:

--filter=+other,-missing
