Using lazarus 2.0.6 i am trying to build a multi-language application.
That works now. i now need to determine if the language option --lang
was mentioned on the command line.

when i start the program with appname --lang=de it passes the check
checkOptions('l:', 'lang:')

when i start the program with appname --lang de it fails the check
checkOptions('l:', 'lang:') with error ""Option at position 1 needs an
argument :"

the option --lang de DOES bring up the correct language, same as
--lang=de. This was a fix for 2.0.6.


how can i extract the command line option value after --lang using
getOptionValue or something similar when the option is given as --lang
de?
