Partial option parsing

[I posted something similar to comp.lang.python and was directed here]

[Trying to be more concise now]

I have a program which has several subcommands, some generic options
and options specific to subcommands. I figured the easiest way to
implement this scheme would be to enhance optparse so that
OptionParser.parse_args() takes another (optional, of course) argument
that allows it to treat unknown options as arguments.
This turned out to be rather easy to implement, and so I did.

While I was at it, I also added gettext support to the strings
(i.e. surrounded them with _()) that will be seen by a end user
(messages to exceptions raised by programmer's fault can stay in english).

Is there any interest in this?
