Re: [Inkscape-devel] Parsing a command line to argc/argv

I learned that Windows + GOption is a combination full of fail.

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=522131

Until this bug is fixed, we need to use a modified in-tree version of GOption source code which accepts an UTF-8 encoded argv on Windows (a patch is attached to that bug). If I move the option parser into a separate object, put both the in-tree code and the parser object in the Inkscape namespace and only include the in-tree code's header on Windows, the modified implementation will only be used there with no additional changes. GOption source is a single 56kB file + 6kB header.
