Sounds good.  (a) I would not object at all to something
better/different/whatever than DPyGetOpt.  (b) All ARK-ish
code goes through ark.control (two separate interfaces, BTW;
one "light", one very ARK-intertwined), so once you've made
ark.control happy, you're done.

If you're going to spend time on ARK details, there's always
that old popen4 problem... :-)
