GOption is older than that.  I believe it was introduced in GLib 2.6 [1]
and GNOME 2.10.  Not sure about libgnome, though.

I seem to recall that moving from popt to GOption was a "GNOME Goal" [2]
awhile back.  It might have even been in Evolution 2.6.

Yes!  I've been going on about this for GLib and GTK+.  I think the jury
is still out on what the policy is w.r.t. what versions of the libraries
to support relative to the latest Evolution/GNOME release.  Harish?
