   9 2007-08-04  human           The function human_options no longer reports an
  10                             error to standard error; that is now the
  11                             caller's responsibility.  It returns an
  12                             error code of type enum strtol_error
  13                             instead of the integer option value, and stores
  14                             the option value via a new int * argument.
  15             xstrtol         The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
  16                             are now an option name and option argument
  17                             instead of an option argument and a type string,
  18                             STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
