I looked at the source for fun yesterday to find out what that was about. IMHO it is that the real encoder class takes C++ arguments (boost variables map) and they have a CLI program which also needs to create that variables map for the encoder. Thus it seems the quickest way to make a C interface was to use that argument parsing code for initializing the encoder. I hope it copes well with multiple definitions of the same option, like the last overwriting the previous ones.
