tcpdump currently still uses getopt(), so it doesn't support long options.

Should we switch to getopt_long(), and include a BSD-licensed 
getopt_long() (e.g., one from one of the *BSDs) for platforms that don't 
have it?  (Glibc's had it for a while, I think recent versions of most 
of not all of the *BSDs have it, recent versions of OS X have it, and 
recent versions of Solaris have it, at least.)
