Thanks for the patch!

Duncan applied it to the GetOpt in Cabal on the 11th:
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cabal-devel/2008-March/002405.html

and Malcolm then applied it to base's GetOpt on the 12th:
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-libraries/2008-March/008332.html

Unfortunately, it looks like they forgot to send a mail to let you know
what had happened! Sorry about that.


Thanks
Ian
