Sure, options.c sounds fine -- it doesn't seem any more generic than
"arg_utils" and is a little simpler. The only other question I have is
if the function inside -- with some adjustment in its interface -- might
be useful in other contexts beyond front-end args checking.

I did run pgindent... Do I need to tell it about the existence of the
new file?

Thought I needed to do this so that other parts would link properly, but
just removed the changes there and stuff still links OK, so I'll remove
that change.

Thanks for the tip, I'm still learning about the build process. Is there
a service I can use to test my patches across multiple platforms? I'd
rather not bother reviewers with build problems that I can catch in a
more automated way.
