Getopts is not obsolete. The ash maintainer(s) seem to think that getopts
is a job control feature and have disabled it. To get a working /bin/sh
download the ash (and common) source, edit ash's builtins.def to remove "-j"
from the getopts line, configure, compile, and copy new-sh.exe to
/bin/sh.exe. Hopefully an ash maintainer will fix this.
