A week ago I submitted a patch which extracted the CL argument processing functionality
from Configure.pl and placed it in lib/Parrot/Configure/Options.pm.  The purpose of the
patch was specifically to improve the testability of the functionality in Configure.pl.  The
patch also included a test file, t/configure/01-options.t, which, among other things, included
a test for an invalid option.

Having heard no objection, I applied that patch to trunk this past Wednesday, so if you've
been configuring and building Parrot in the past 4 days, you've been building with this
version of Configure.pl.  And if you've been running 'make test', the test I contributed has
been the very first test to run.

Prompted by your post, I added one additional test to that file this morning.  Are there
additional tests of the CL argument processing functionality you'd like to see?  If so, patch
away!

Thank you very much.
