Hi Michael,

It's good to have that option as a backup.

Currently commons-cli 1.1 silently discards all but the first instance 
of any option (it throws an exception internally, which is then caught 
but discarded). I can't imagine anything deliberately depending on this 
behaviour, so I feel it should be safe to patch it. Once I'm more 
certain I'll clone the bug (as I'll have to revert the original Maven2 
patch).

It looks as though upstream accept that this behaviour is buggy 
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-137). It's as much a question 
of what the code *should* be doing.

Thanks,
Paul
