// wxCmdLineParser is a class for parsing command line.
//
// It has the following features:
//
// 1. distinguishes options, switches and parameters; allows option grouping
// 2. allows both short and long options
// 3. automatically generates the usage message from the cmd line description
// 4. does type checks on the options values (number, date, ...)
//
// To use it you should:
//
// 1. construct it giving it the cmd line to parse and optionally its desc
// 2. construct the cmd line description using AddXXX() if not done in (1)
// 3. call Parse()
// 4. use GetXXX() to retrieve the parsed info
