Re: Optik 1.4.1 backported to python 1.5.2

I'd love to check in 1.4.1 into py152-backport.  My sourceforge username
is netmanakre.

Here is what I'm curently working on for my internal product.
 - GUI integration (if script is running on windows, x or mac, and
 invalid 
   options are presented, or no options are presented, pop up a gui
   editor
   that allows manual entry of options, and stores previously used
   command
   line in a .optik file in the user's home directory for quick
   selection
   of previously entered options)

There are also a few other things I'm looking at overloading Optik to
do, but
have not even started on.  
 - Allow parsing of arguments also (via .add_argument methods,
 supporting 
store and append actions)
 - User definable types.
 - Per option validation tests (i.e. check to see if a value is a path
 of 
   a readable file, be able to set options as exclusive, so you could 
   specify that --vegetarian precludes using --with-ham.)

If anyone might be interested in these kind of things, I'll post updates 
as I make progress.  The code I am creating has to run on all versions
of 
Python 1.5.2+, so it's not going to be as elegant as I'd like it to be.
