getopt & output reordering (was: xmlto package install question)

Talking to Tim Waugh, the author of xmlto, revealed that the order of arguments doesn't matter on his system (that's Red Hat, I guess), whereas it matters indeed on Cygwin. Investigating it a bit further revealed that Cygwin's getopt differs from what he expected: getopt -- o: xmlto -o foo bar
