/**
 * @file 
 *
 * General command line parsing facility for use throughout Open MPI.
 *
 * This scheme is inspired by the GNU getopt package.  Command line
 * options are registered.  Each option can have up to three different
 * matching tokens: a "short" name, a "single dash" name, and a "long"
 * name.  Each option can also take 0 or more arguments.  Finally,
 * each option can be repeated on the command line an arbitrary number
 * of times.
 *
 * The "short" name can only be a single letter, and will be found
 * after a single dash (e.g., "-a").  Multiple "short" names can be
 * combined into a single command line argument (e.g., "-abc" can be
 * equivalent to "-a -b -c").
 *
 * The "single dash" name is a multi-character name that only
 * requires a single dash.  This only exists to provide backwards
 * compatibility for some well-known command line options in prior
 * MPI implementations (e.g., "mpirun -np 3").  It should be used
 * sparingly.
 *
 * The "long" name is a multi-character name that is found after a
 * pair of dashes.  For example, "--some-option-name".  
 *
 * A command line option is a combination of 1 or more of a short
 * name, single dash name, and a long name.  Any of the names may be
 * used on the command line; they are treated as synonyms.  For
 * example, say the following was used in for an executable named
 * "foo":
 *
 * \code
 * opal_cmd_line_make_opt3(cmd, 'a', NULL, 'add', 1, "Add a user");
 * \endcode
 *
 * In this case, the following command lines are exactly equivalent:
 *
 * \verbatim
 * shell$ foo -a jsmith
 * shell$ foo --add jsmith
 * \endverbatim
 *
 * Note that this interface can also track multiple invocations of the
 * same option.  For example, the following is both legal and able to
 * be retrieved through this interface:
 *
 * \verbatim
 * shell$ foo -a jsmith -add bjones
 * \endverbatim
 *
 * The caller to this interface creates a command line handle
 * (opal_cmd_line_t) with OBJ_NEW() and then uses it to register the
 * desired parameters via opal_cmd_line_make_opt3() (or the deprecated
 * opal_cmd_line_make_opt()).  Once all the parameters have been
 * registered, the user invokes opal_cmd_line_parse() with the command
 * line handle and the argv/argc pair to be parsed (typically the
 * arguments from main()).  The parser will examine the argv and find
 * registered options and parameters.  It will stop parsing when it
 * runs into an recognized string token or the special "--" token.
 *
 * After the parse has occurred, various accessor functions can be
 * used to determine which options were selected, what parameters were
 * passed to them, etc.:
 *
 * - opal_cmd_line_get_usage_msg() returns a string suitable for "help"
 *   kinds of messages.
 * - opal_cmd_line_is_taken() returns a true or false indicating
 *   whether a given command line option was found on the command
 *   line.
 * - opal_cmd_line_get_argc() returns the number of tokens parsed on
 *   the handle.
 * - opal_cmd_line_get_argv() returns any particular string from the
 *   original argv.
 * - opal_cmd_line_get_ninsts() returns the number of times a
 *   particular option was found on a command line.
 * - opal_cmd_line_get_param() returns the Nth parameter in the Mth
 *   instance of a given parameter.
 * - opal_cmd_line_get_tail() returns an array of tokens not parsed
 *   (i.e., if the parser ran into "--" or an unrecognized token).
 *
 * Note that a shortcut to creating a large number of options exists
 * -- one can make a table of opal_cmd_line_init_t instances and the
 * table to opal_cmd_line_create().  This creates an opal_cmd_line_t
 * handle that is pre-seeded with all the options from the table
 * without the need to repeatedly invoke opal_cmd_line_make_opt3() (or
 * equivalent).  This opal_cmd_line_t instance is just like any other;
 * it is still possible to add more options via
 * opal_cmd_line_make_opt3(), etc.
