I'd fogotted quite how maddening Solaris is. ;-)

Solaris sh trap's failure to deal with '-' has decided me to go with the
test and exec ksh approach, but while I'm cherrypicking the stuff like
getopts replacement, and avoiding grep -q etc. from the solaris branch,
it would be nice if people with solaris could try to spot any remaining
breakage in this:

  http://git.hands.com/ssh-copy-id?p=ssh-copy-id.git;a=blob_plain;f=ssh-copy-id;hb=refs/heads/solaris

it's not greatly tested, bit it was working for some things.  The option
handling needs proper testing on lots of platforms (I'll be grabbing
that into the master branch later today).

Also, the just reverted "no IdentitiesOnly=yes" commit is needed for me
to test here, as I've not got OpenSSH installed on my Solaris VM, so I
cannot test the exact version I want to publish at present.

I'll do the cherrypicking later today, but here's something to go on with.

Cheers, Phil.
