#1112: simfactory's option parser termination option values on ";"

     Type:  defect      |      Status:  new     
 Priority:  minor       |   Milestone:          
Component:  SimFactory  |     Version:          
 Keywords:              |  
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 I have (on my local machine horizon.tapir.caltech.edu):

 {{{
 rhaas at horizon:/mnt/data/rhaas/postdoc/gr/ET_trunk$ tail -n2
 simfactory/etc/defs.local.ini
 [horizon.tapir.caltech.edu]
 user            = rhaas3 ; missing
 }}}

 and get

 {{{
 rhaas at horizon:/mnt/data/rhaas/postdoc/gr/ET_trunk$ sim print-mdb-entry
 horizon.tapir.caltech.edu | grep rhaas
 sourcebasedir   = /mnt/data/rhaas/postdoc/gr
 basedir         = /home/rhaas/data/postdoc/runs
 user            = rhaas3
 email           = rhaas
 }}}

 ie. the option parser truncates the option value for "user" at the ";"
 character (seem to treat it as a comment marger like "#").

 This makes it impossible to have a ";" eg. in the envsetup command. I
 tried escaping the ";" with backslashes and double quotes. No luck. In my
 specific case I wanted to do:

 hash module && module purge ; bash ...

 ie clear all module information if the module command exists (I have a
 workaround for this particular application).
