Either I spotted a bug, or I don't understand the algorithm. TCustomApplication.CheckOptions should check for a command line like this: program -B file
Where -B is a short option without parameter. CheckOptions always treats the parameter after a short option as parameter, no matter if B comes with the colon or not. If this is a bug: See lazarus/ide/lazbuild.lpr for a possible fix.
