There is a big enum in g10/g10.c, add "oFoo" if you want to implement
the option --foo. Then add an appropriate line into the array of
commands, the format is descriped in utils/argparse.c.  Add a label to
the option parsing switch in main() and set the option; e.g

  case oFoo:  opt.foo = 1; break;

and in g10/options.h add "int foo" to the structre named opt.

For commands it is quite similar, except that you need to do the
actual work in another large switch statement in main.  set_cmd() is
used to make sure that there is only one command set and for some
kludges.
