<http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#WJFFM>.  Please read and follow the Cygwin
problem reporting guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>.  Also,
please let us know exactly how you invoke your script -- the normal
invocation should not affect anything in the environment of the calling
process.  IIRC, getopts won't work well in sourced scripts.
