The options in CA.pl are now defined as:

       ?, -h, -help
           prints a usage message.

       -newcert
	   ...

However, thsi does not comply with de facto GNU option syntax where
longer name are prefixed with "--" and short options with "-". Perl
guidelines also suggest using Getop::Long for purpose like this.

It seesm that the CA.pl uses home grown option handling so changing
it to use Getop::Long would be simple.

Hi Jari,

The whole openssl suite uses this sort of options. So it would habe to
be changed in all the commands. I don't see a chance for an upstream change.

Yep, and there are tons of other command line programs in other packages
using this (BSD?) syntax too. Why should it be changed anyway? (good
candidate for the wontfix rag IMHO, but I'm not package maintainer).
