/**
 *  Simple access to the command-line arguments.
 *
 *  It takes into account Qt-specific options, KDE-specific options
 *  and application specific options.
 *
 *  This class is used in main() via the static method
 *  @ref init().
 *
 *  A typical KDE application should look like this:
 *
 *  
 *  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
 *  {
 *     // Initialize command line args
 *     KCmdLineArgs::init(argc, argv, appName, description, version);
 *
 *     // Tell which options are supported
 *     KCmdLineArgs::addCmdLineOptions( options );
 *
 *     // Add options from other components
 *     KUniqueApplication::addCmdLineOptions();
 *
 *     ....
 *
 *     // Create application object without passing 'argc' and 'argv' again.
 *     KUniqueApplication app;
 *
 *     ....
 *
 *     // Handle our own options/argments
 *     // A KApplication will usually do this in main but this is not
 *     // necassery.
 *     // A KUniqueApplication might want to handle it in newInstance().
 *
 *     KCmdLineArgs *args = KCmdLineArgs::parsedArgs();
 *
 *     // A binary option (on / off)
 *     if (args->isSet("some-option"))
 *        ....
 *
 *     // An option which takes an additional argument
 *     QCString anotherOptionArg = args->getOption("another-option");
 *
 *     // Arguments (e.g. files to open)
 *     for(int i = 0; i < args->count(); i++) // Counting start at 0!
 *     {
 *        // don't forget to convert to Unicode!
 *        openFile( QFile::decodeName( args->arg(i)));
 *        // Or more convenient:
 *        // openURL( args->url(i));
 *
 *     }
 *
 *     args->clear(); // Free up some memory.
 *     ....
 *  }
 *  
 *
 *  options are defined as follow
 *
 *  
 *  static KCmdLineOptions options[] =
 *  {
 *     { "a", I18N_NOOP("A short binary option."), 0 },
 *     { "b ", I18N_NOOP("A short option which takes an argument."), 0 },
 *     { "c ", I18N_NOOP("As above but with a default value."), "9600" },
 *     { "option1", I18N_NOOP("A long binary option, off by default."), 0 },
 *     { "nooption2", I18N_NOOP("A long binary option, on by default."), 0 },
 *     { "option3 ", I18N_NOOP("A long option which takes an argument."), 0 },
 *     { "option3 ", I18N_NOOP("As above with 9600 as default."), "9600" },
 *     { "d", 0, 0 },
 *     { "option4", I18N_NOOP("A long option which has a short option as alias."), 0 },
 *     { "e", 0, 0 },
 *     { "nooption5", I18N_NOOP("Another long option with an alias."), 0 },
 *     { "f", 0, 0 },
 *     { "option6 ", I18N_NOOP("'--option6 speed' is same a '-f speed'"), 0 },
 *     { "!option7 ", I18N_NOOP("All options following this one will be treated as arguments", 0 },
 *     { "+file", I18N_NOOP("A required argument 'file'.), 0 },
 *     { "+[arg1]", I18N_NOOP("An optional argument 'arg1'."), 0 },
 *     { "!+command", I18N_NOOP("A required argument 'command', that can contain multiple words, even starting with '-'.), 0 },
 *     { 0, 0, 0 } // End of options.
 *  };
 *  
 *
 *  The I18N_NOOP macro is used to indicate that these strings should be
 *  marked for translation. The actual translation is done by KCmdLineArgs.
 *  You can't use i18n() here because we are setting up a static data
 *  structure and can't do translations at compile time.
 *
 *  Note that a program should define the options before any arguments.
 *
 *  When a long option has a short option as alias. A program should
 *  only check for the long option.
 *
 *  With the above options a command line could look like:
 *  
 *     myapp -a -c 4800 --display localhost:0.0 --nooption5 -d /tmp/file
 *  
 *
 *  Long binary options can be in the form 'option' and 'nooption'.
 *  A command line may contain the same binary option multiple times,
 *  the last option determines the outcome:
 *  
 *     myapp --nooption4 --option4 --nooption4
 *  
 *  is the same as:
 *  
 *     myapp --nooption4
 *  
 *
 *  Normally if an option value is provided multiple times only the last
 *  value is used:
 *  
 *     myapp -c 1200 -c 2400 -c 4800
 *  
 *  is usually the same as:
 *  
 *     myapp -c 4800
 *  
 *
 *  However, an application can choose to use all values specified as well.
 *  E.g. to specify a number of directories to use:
 *  
 *     myapp -I /usr/include -I /opt/kde/include -I /usr/X11/include
 *  
 *  When an application does this it should mention this in the description
 *  of the option. @ref getOptionList()
 *
 *  @short A class for command-line argument handling.
