Here's an idea for an enhancement: supply functions to allocate and
fill the optStruct dynamically.  Not because I see a need to change
the command line syntax on the fly, but because this would allow one to
include pointers to non-static storage in the optStruct.  I did this
manually, with a macro, but the time I spent working out the details
defied the spirit of shhopt!

And one more: Add an option to parse syntax like get_long_opt_only()
(as opposed to get_long_opt()).  I.e. allow long options with only one
hyphen.  That way we can have the two keystroke options that people
enjoy so much without having to have two completely separate option
syntaxes.
