/*
 
  The point of this file is to handle options parsing that is common to both the server and client of distren. Options parsing that is specific to either should be managed by the server or the client. This means that the user of this interface will be given a handle to a part of a confuse config tree and have to eat that part of the tree to fulfill its own options.
 
  Unfortunately, this extra layer of abstraction shall possibly require a common_opts struct to be made that must be passed to all functions that use the common config. This would include any interface in /src/common/

  This function needs to eat some of your arguments to it, just like gtk+ and other libs like to. It particularly needs to be able to find the location of the config file, which should be taken from arguments if it's there. The argument list will have members that I recognize removed.
 
  
 
  Options should be kept alive during the program's life.
