The getarg issue is a mess.

It's not obvius that that putting more patches into getarg will make getarg
more pleaseant to look at/use. 

There is some things with getarg that you can't do today and you want
to. Adding them getarg changes getarg radically.

There is also the problem that getarg isn't getarg. We can't really upgrade
to a new libroken, since we hacked getarg to something else. Having a
libroken that isn't a libroken is very bad and need to dealt with.

Two choses really: rename getarg and hack to death, or rewrite to something
better (we want to merge getarg and sl).

We have talked about it, but never reached any consensus.
