Using $* is broken usage of getopt. (It hoses arguments with spaces.) See my answer for proper usage.

Why would you want to make it more complicated?

@Matt J, the first part of the script (for i) would be able to handle arguments with spaces in them if you use "$i" instead of $i. The getopts does not seem to be able to handle arguments with spaces. What would be the advantage of using getopt over the for i loop?
