refactored the cmdline argument processing I replaced the nested switch statements with one single large else-if construct. Instead of char comparision now str(n)cmp(3) is used. Although this is slower it is much more readable and covers corner-cases which were uncovered before (e.g. -bdxxx). As always: Readability and simplicity matter, not performance.

Howto link masqmail statically?
-------------------------------

With gcc (don't know anything about other compilers), you simply
build masqmail with:

	LDFLAGS=-static make -e


On Debian GNU/Linux, I received a bunch warnings of that kind:

	interface.o: In function `init_sockaddr':
	interface.c:55: warning: Using 'gethostbyname' in statically
	linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries
	from the glibc version used for linking

On NetBSD I no warnings were printed.

I don't have enough knowledge to tell the reasons and implications.
Maybe you can.
