I may have found an issue with this API.  When a double hyphen is
encountered the API is supposed to return a -1 but I'm seeing a '?'.

My reference is from the Solaris docs which say: "The special option "--"
can be used to delimit the end of the options; when it is encountered, -1 is
returned and "--" is skipped.  I attached a test case to show the problem.

I made the following change it will cause the code to punt to getopt when
just  a "--" is found:
argv[optind][0] == '-'
argv[optind][1] == '-'
argv[optind][2] == NULL
