Rewriting option parser wrapper to ensure memory is not lost.

The option parser wrapper allocated memory in an incorrect way, which
could lead to problems especially with --xml-output, since it would
access the memory at a later point in the execution. This could then
propagate to GUI problems, since the GUI uses the --xml-output switch.
Rewrote the code to be more readable and less incorrect.
