Oh, I just remembered, I don't think this is supposed to work this way:

haskell/aura [ ./dist/build/aura/aura -Aabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz                                          ]  1 (8:03 PM)
Success (([AURInstall,DelMDeps,PacmanArg "dbpath" "cdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"],[]),[])
aura >>= You have to use `sudo` for that.

No, that's evil. I wonder if that's a bug in the library?

I'll take a look and submit an issue if I need to.

I just checked, and that is the same behavoir as pacman. eg.

haskell/aura [ pacman -bcdef                                          ]  255 (8:14 PM)
error: failed to initialize alpm library
(could not find or read directory: cdef)

I think I see what's happening here. If a short-op takes an arg, it tries to parse as much as possible out of that. Notice -y is a legal suboption for -A, but we see it parsed an argument to -b.

I think it's done, but I would need to test all options. That would suck.

Haha very much so. I'm going to heavily review this as well.

Just noticed, things like -Q don't work.

This just might work.

Looks good to me. It seems to do what you would expect: parse it's own commands and, if that fails, hand it off to pacman. Lets get this merged. @fosskers ?
