Why not something like this?
	static inline int short_opt(char opt, const char *arg,
					const char *argv, const char **optarg)
	{
		if (arg[0] != '-' || arg[1] != opt)
			return 0;
		if (arg[2] != '\0') {
			*optarg = arg + strlen("-c");
			return 1;
		}
		if (!argv[1])
			die("Option '%c' requires a value", opt);
		*optarg = argv[1];
		return 2;
	}
and then:
	if ((argcount = short_opt('S', arg, argv, &optarg))) {
		...
