getopt_long works fine)

Just for clarification:

It is not bug in Solaris. It is Solaris' getopt extension for long arg 
processing from days when getopt_long did not exist (hmm it seems that 
it is still not in POSIX :( ). By my opinion PostgreSQL does not work 
correctly here, because it uses construction which is marked as a 
implementation depended in POSIX standard.
