/** \class CommandLineArguments
 * \brief Command line arguments processing code.
 *
 * Find specified arguments with optional options and execute specified methods
 * or set given variables.
 *
 * The two interfaces it knows are callback based and variable based. For
 * callback based, you have to register callback for particular argument using
 * AddCallback method. When that argument is passed, the callback will be
 * called with argument, value, and call data. For boolean (NO_ARGUMENT)
 * arguments, the value is "1". If the callback returns 0 the argument parsing
 * will stop with an error.
 *
 * For the variable interface you associate variable with each argument. When
 * the argument is specified, the variable is set to the specified value casted
 * to the apropriate type. For boolean (NO_ARGUMENT), the value is "1".
 *
 * Both interfaces can be used at the same time. 
 *
 * Possible argument types are:
 *   NO_ARGUMENT     - The argument takes no value             : --A
 *   CONCAT_ARGUMENT - The argument takes value after no space : --Aval
 *   SPACE_ARGUMENT  - The argument takes value after space    : --A val 
 *   EQUAL_ARGUMENT  - The argument takes value after equal    : --A=val
 *   MULTI_ARGUMENT  - The argument takes values after space   : --A val1 val2 val3 ...
 *
 * Example use:
 *
 * kwsys::CommandLineArguments arg;
 * arg.Initialize(argc, argv);
 * typedef kwsys::CommandLineArguments argT;
 * arg.AddArgument("--something", argT::EQUAL_ARGUMENT, &some_variable, 
 *                 "This is help string for --something");
 * if ( !arg.Parse() )
 *   {
 *   kwsys_ios::cerr << "Problem parsing arguments" << kwsys_ios::endl;
 *   res = 1;
 *   }
 *
