Just on a side-note: I chose for '/' to be a long-opt identifier on Windows, 
because it is for pretty much any Microsoft programming tool out there, 
starting with the linker, ending with the compiler of MSVC++, amongst others.

I know that shell commands such as dir, etc. take / to be similar to - on *nix 
(as single character command line arguments), but I guess the former is more 
useful. It's no problem to change this behaviour, though.
