CommandLine - Application and OptionParser
==========================================
Author: Jim Freeze

ABOUT
=====
CommandLine is a tool that facilitates building command line
applications and parsing the command line. Version 0.6.0
supercedes OptionParser-0.5.0 since the option libs are now part
of CommandLine. (I thought that maintianing two gems for 
the option libraries would be confusing.)

CommandLine provides a convenient way to quickly develop
a professional looking commandline application.
The OptionParser provides efficient tools to add and
handle options while still allowing your application to 
handle just about any argument configuration you may need.

Probably the best way to describe how the tool works is
with an example:
(For now this email, and the source, is the only documentation
for application. I would like to hear comments and
make changes before getting to involved in a write-up.)

HISTORY
=======
After poking around in a few corporations, it was evident that
option parsing was not well understood. Therefore, many inhouse
tools were built that did not conform to any of the POSIX, Gnu or XTools
option styles. CommandLine::OptionParser was developed so that
new applications could be written that conformed to accepted standards,
but non-standard option configurations could be handled as well
to support legacy interfaces.

Once the option parsing was written, there was a need to streamline
the repetitive tasks in setting up an application. The original
boilerplate was simple, but after taking a few cues from
rails, a significant amount of functionality was added to
Application that make it a very useful tool yet simple to use.

More information and usage scenarios on OptionParser can be found at:
    http://rubyforge.org/projects/optionparser/

APPENDIX

OPTION PARSER 
=============
CommandLine is a library for building applications 
and parsing commandlines.

CommandLine::OptionParser is part of the CommandLine suite of
tools and is used for command line parsing. The command line
parser suite consists of classes CommandLine::Option, 
CommandLine::OptionData and CommandLine::Application.

The parser supports POSIX, Gnu and XTools style parsing options. 
It also provides flexibility to support <em>non standard</em>
options. For example:

POSIX
=====
OptionParser.new Option.new(:posix, :names => "-f")

Gnu
===
OptionParser.new Option.new(:names => %w[--file -f])

XTools
======
OptionParser.new Option.new(:names => "-file")

User
====
OptionParser.new(Option.new(
   :names => %w(--file -file --files -files -f),
   :arg_arity => [1,-1],
   :arg_description => "file1 [file2, ...]"))

This last option prints:

 OPTIONS

     --file,-file,--files,-files,-f file1 [file2, ...]
