I'm not too excited, given that our code base is already too large, 
anyway, and adding something to sal has higher maintenance implications 
than adding it outside the URE interface.

So, if there is a reasonably cheap alternative (like Boost's Program 
Options), I wouldn't mind if we used that instead.
