;# Process single-character switches with switch clustering.  Pass one argument
;# which is a string containing all switches that take an argument.  For each
;# switch found, sets $opt_x (where x is the switch name) to the value of the
;# argument, or 1 if no argument.  Switches which take an argument don't care
;# whether there is a space between the switch and the argument.

;# Usage:
;#	do Getopt('oDI');  # -o, -D & -I take arg.  Sets opt_* as a side effect.
