Another option with similar levels of macro (ab)use is my "magic getopt" which lets you write code like this:

        const char * ch;
        while ((ch = GETOPT(argc, argv)) != NULL) {
                GETOPT_SWITCH(ch) {
                GETOPT_OPT("-a"):
                        aflag = 1;
                        break;
                GETOPT_OPTARG("--bar"):
                        printf("bar: %s\n", optarg);
                        break;
                GETOPT_OPTARG("-f"):
                        printf("foo: %s\n", optarg);
                        break;
                GETOPT_MISSING_ARG:
                        printf("missing argument to %s\n", ch);
                        /* FALLTHROUGH */
                GETOPT_DEFAULT:
                        usage();
                }
        }
