I have popt 1.5 installed on my system... it appears to be required by
some software that I installed (specifically: gnomeiconedit 1.2.0) 

Its not part of the base install of FreeBSD if that's what you're
asking...  but it is available.

Didn't we already beat the command-line-parsing horse to death several
times already?  :)
