/**
    wxCmdLineEntryDesc::flags field is a combination of these bit masks.

    Notice that by default (i.e. if flags are just 0), options are optional
    (sic) and each call to wxCmdLineParser::AddParam() allows one more
    parameter - this may be changed by giving non-default flags to it, i.e. use
    @c wxCMD_LINE_OPTION_MANDATORY to require that the option is given and
    @c wxCMD_LINE_PARAM_OPTIONAL to make a parameter optional.
    
    Also, @c wxCMD_LINE_PARAM_MULTIPLE may be specified if the programs accepts a
    variable number of parameters - but it only can be given for the last
    parameter in the command line description. If you use this flag, you will
    probably need to use wxCmdLineEntryDesc::GetParamCount() to retrieve the
    number of parameters effectively specified after calling
    wxCmdLineEntryDesc::Parse().

    @c wxCMD_LINE_NEEDS_SEPARATOR can be specified to require a separator (either
    a colon, an equal sign or white space) between the option name and its
    value. By default, no separator is required.

    @c wxCMD_LINE_SWITCH_NEGATABLE can be specified if you want to allow the
    user to specify the switch in both normal form and in negated one (e.g.
    /R-). You will need to use wxCmdLineParser::FoundSwitch() to distinguish
    between the normal and negated forms of the switch. This flag is new since
    wxWidgets 2.9.2.

    @class wxCmdLineParser

    wxCmdLineParser is a class for parsing the command line.

    It has the following features:

    - distinguishes options, switches and parameters
    - allows option grouping
    - allows both short and long options
    - automatically generates the usage message from the command line description
    - checks types of the options values (number, date, ...).

    To use it you should follow these steps:

    -# @ref cmdlineparser_construction "Construct" an object of this class
       giving it the command line to parse and optionally its description or
       use the @c AddXXX() functions later.
    -# Call Parse().
    -# Use Found() to retrieve the results.

    You can also use wxApp's default command line processing just overriding
    wxAppConsole::OnInitCmdLine() and wxAppConsole::OnCmdLineParsed().

    In the documentation below the following terminology is used:

    - @b switch: a boolean option which can be given or not, but which doesn't have 
                 any value. We use the word @e switch to distinguish
                 such boolean options from more generic options like those
                 described below. For example, @c "-v" might be a switch
                 meaning "enable verbose mode".
    - @b option: a switch with a value associated to it. 
                 For example, @c "-o filename" might be an
                 option for specifying the name of the output file.
    - @b parameter: a required program argument.


    @section cmdlineparser_construction Construction

    Before Parse() can be called, the command line parser object must have the
    command line to parse and also the rules saying which switches, options and
    parameters are valid - this is called command line description in what
    follows.

    You have complete freedom of choice as to when specify the required
    information, the only restriction is that it must be done before calling
    Parse().

    To specify the command line to parse you may use either one of constructors
    accepting it (wxCmdLineParser(int, char**) or
    wxCmdLineParser(const wxString&) usually) or, if you use the default
    constructor, you can do it later by calling SetCmdLine().

    The same holds for command line description: it can be specified either in
    the constructor (with or without the command line itself) or constructed
    later using either SetDesc() or combination of AddSwitch(), AddOption(),
    AddParam() and AddUsageText() methods.

    Using constructors or SetDesc() uses a (usually const static) table
    containing the command line description. If you want to decide which
    options to accept during the run-time, using one of the AddXXX() functions
    above might be preferable.


    @section cmdlineparser_customization Customization

    wxCmdLineParser has several global options which may be changed by the
    application. All of the functions described in this section should be
    called before Parse().

    First global option is the support for long (also known as GNU-style)
    options. The long options are the ones which start with two dashes and look
    like "\--verbose", i.e. they generally are complete words and not some
    abbreviations of them. As long options are used by more and more
    applications, they are enabled by default, but may be disabled with
    DisableLongOptions().

    Another global option is the set of characters which may be used to start
    an option (otherwise, the word on the command line is assumed to be a
    parameter). Under Unix, @c "-" is always used, but Windows has at least two
    common choices for this: @c "-" and @c "/". Some programs also use "+". The
    default is to use what suits most the current platform, but may be changed
    with SetSwitchChars() method.

    Finally, SetLogo() can be used to show some application-specific text
    before the explanation given by Usage() function.


    @section cmdlineparser_parsing Parsing the Command Line

    After the command line description was constructed and the desired options
    were set, you can finally call Parse() method. It returns 0 if the command
    line was correct and was parsed, -1 if the help option was specified (this
    is a separate case as, normally, the program will terminate after this) or
    a positive number if there was an error during the command line parsing.

    In the latter case, the appropriate error message and usage information are
    logged by wxCmdLineParser itself using the standard wxWidgets logging
    functions.


    @section cmdlineparser_results Getting Results

    After calling Parse() (and if it returned 0), you may access the results of
    parsing using one of overloaded Found() methods.

    For a simple switch, you will simply call Found to determine if the switch
    was given or not, for an option or a parameter, you will call a version of
    Found() which also returns the associated value in the provided variable.
    All Found() functions return true if the switch or option were found in the
    command line or false if they were not specified.
