  Description     : A header-only C++ argv and configuration parsing library

There are already a few configuration parser around, but most of them
introduce runtime dependencies. This header-only library avoids that
and add a simple to use and complete C++ API for accessing configuration
passed through command line arguments or configuration files. The argv
parsing is following the POSIX standard.

All of the programs I've submitted to Debian before have switched
from using boost::program_options to libcfp. Adding this library to
Debian would ease packaging updates to these tools a lot. (Alternative
is to include a copy of this lib to each and every tools separately).

This library is intended to be maintained by the med-team.

This ITP replaces the one from bug nr #1024144 which had a name
conflict on other platforms.
