+/**
+ * CommandLineParser provides a utility for specifying the format of a command line and parsing command lines to ensure
+ * that they fit their specified format. A command line is made up of flags and options, both may be refered to as
+ * options. A flag is an option that does not take an argument (specifying it means it has the value 'true' and not
+ * specifying it means it has the value 'false'). Options must take arguments but they can be set up with defaults so
+ * that they take a default value when not set. Options may be mandatory in wich case it is an error not to specify
+ * them on the command line. Flags are never mandatory because they are implicitly set to false when not specified.
+ *
+ * <p/>Some examples command line are:
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>This one has two options that expect arguments:
+ * <pre>
+ * cruisecontrol -configfile cruisecontrol.xml -port 9000
+ * </pre>
+ * <li>This has one no-arg flag and two 'free' arguments:
+ * <pre>
+ * zip -r project.zip project/*
+ * </pre>
+ * <li>This one concatenates multiple flags into a single block with only one '-':
+ * <pre>
+ * jar -tvf mytar.tar
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p/>The parsing rules are:
+ *
+ * <ol>
+ * <li>Flags may be combined after a single '-' because they never take arguments. Normally such flags are single letter
+ * flags but this is only a convention and not enforced. Flags of more than one letter are usually specified on their own.
+ * <li>Options expecting arguments must always be on their own.
+ * <li>The argument to an option may be seperated from it by whitespace or appended directly onto the option.
+ * <li>The argument to an option may never begin with a '-' character.
+ * <li>All other arguments not beginning with a '-' character are free arguments that do not belong to any option.
+ * <li>The second or later of a set of duplicate or repeated flags override earlier ones.
+ * <li>Options are matched up to the shortest matching option. This is because of the possibility of having no space
+ * between an option and its argument. This rules out the possibility of using two options where one is an opening
+ * substring of the other. For example, the options "foo" and "foobar" cannot be used on the same command line because
+ * it is not possible to distinguish the argument "-foobar" from being the "foobar" option or the "foo" option with
+ * the "bar" argument.
+ * </ol>
+ *
+ * <p/>By default, unknown options are simply ignored if specified on the command line. This behaviour may be changed
+ * so that the parser reports all unknowns as errors by using the {@link #setErrorsOnUnknowns} method.
+ *

+ * readable format.
+ *
+ * <p/>Each array of strings must be 2, 3, 4 or 5 elements long. If any of the last three elements are missing they
+ * are assumed to be null. The elements specify the following parameters:
+ * <ol>
+ * <li>The name of the option without the leading '-'. For example, "file". To specify the format of the 'free'
+ * arguments use the option names "1", "2", ... and so on.
+ * <li>The option comment. A line of text describing the usage of the option. For example, "The file to be processed."
+ * <li>The options argument. This is a very short description of the argument to the option, often a single word
+ * or a reminder as to the arguments format. When this element is null the option is a flag and does not
+ * accept any arguments. For example, "filename" or "(unix | windows)" or null. The actual text specified
+ * is only used to print in the usage message to remind the user of the usage of the option.
+ * <li>The mandatory flag. When set to "true" an option must always be specified. Any other value, including null,
+ * means that the option is mandatory. Flags are always mandatory (see class javadoc for explanation of why) so
