Honestly, I'm not sure it's something you need to worry about, but if
it really bothers you that much, just checking for lt- at the
beginning and incrementing the pointer past those characters seems
like a somewhat reasonable work around....

Sure, but you're talking about a program that's only used by
developers, maybe 50 people will run '--help' on it in its entire
lifetime, most of whom will probably know a bit about libtool, and if
they don't, well, maybe that will get them to learn ;-)

Actually, looking at the usage message for lt-scriptname when the user
said 'scriptname --help' is not a good thing.

yeah, that would be the way around. Thank you.
