Just noticed that test1 contains both python-2.3.3 with optparse and
python-Optik modules.  From my reading, optparse _is_ Optik so the only
thing gained from this is being able to 'import Optik' in scripts
instead of 'import optparse' (Which is a forward compatibility feature
of Optik 1.4.1 too.)

Not a big deal, but it may confuse some people new to python if they are
trying to decide what module to use to parse their command line
arguments.

Python and optik pages detailing that Optik was merged into python as
optparse:
