The GNU side of my brain is saying "use getopts" repeatedly...

As the documentation says, handling command lines options isn't
difficult or exciting, but you can go wrong(!) so don't reinvent the
wheel if you don't have to.
Comparing dates - hmm must be a library for that....

Sam you are welcome to borrow my Stroustrup if you don't have a copy -
bought for a project that never happened.
Examples -- hmm I'm sure there must be a way to find out which Debian
packages are written in C++ - Neil? ("apt-cache rdepends g++" isn't
quite right, but may well be good enough). Then one can "apt-get source"
and you'll have more C++ than you could possibly want.
