It's too late for this release of the wrappers, but patches gratefully 
accepted for the future.  However, your suggestion won't work:

"$opt_i -I '$1'"

using single quotes prevents $1 from being expanded at all.  What you'd 
need to do is something like:

"$opt_i -I \"$1\""

But I'm not sure if those doublequotes will be safe after multiple 
re-expansions as $opt_i is built and extended.  This needs some testing.
