Package: wnpp

Severity: wishlist

Description : Templated command-line argument parser
This package provides a simple C++ library that facilitates parsing
command-line arguments in a type-independent manner. The functionality is
provided via template header files, so no actual library is included.
I started using tclap to provide simple, elegant and featureful command-line
parsing routines for my C++ programs. The packages is pretty well documented,
has numerous examples and a large number of unit tests (and I include
examples and tests in the .deb).
A draft package is at http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/tmp/
Comments and suggestions are welcome (and please CC me as I'm no longer on
debian-devel). We do have a few similar packages, but nothing had quite this
feature set.
Regards, Dirk
