+#
+# Author: kate.ward@forestent.com (Kate Ward)
+#
+# This module implements something like the google-gflags library available
+# from http://code.google.com/p/google-gflags/.
+#
+# FLAG TYPES: This is a list of the DEFINE_*'s that you can do.  All flags take
+# a name, default value, help-string, and optional 'short' name (one-letter
+# name).  Some flags have other arguments, which are described with the flag.
+#
+# DEFINE_string: takes any input, and intreprets it as a string.
+#
+# DEFINE_boolean: typically does not take any argument: say --myflag to set
+#   FLAGS_myflag to true, or --nomyflag to set FLAGS_myflag to false.
+#   Alternately, you can say
+#     --myflag=true  or --myflag=t or --myflag=0  or
+#     --myflag=false or --myflag=f or --myflag=1
+#   Passing an option has the same affect as passing the option once.
+#
+# DEFINE_float: takes an input and intreprets it as a floating point number. As
+#   shell does not support floats per-se, the input is merely validated as
+#   being a valid floating point value.
+#
+# DEFINE_integer: takes an input and intreprets it as an integer.
+#
+# SPECIAL FLAGS: There are a few flags that have special meaning:
+#   --help (or -?)  prints a list of all the flags in a human-readable fashion
+#   --flagfile=foo  read flags from foo.  (not implemented yet)
+#   --              as in getopt(), terminates flag-processing
+#
+# EXAMPLE USAGE:
+#
+#   -- begin hello.sh --
+#   #! /bin/sh
+#   . ./shflags
+#   DEFINE_string name 'world' "somebody's name" n
+#   FLAGS "$@" || exit $?
+#   eval set -- "${FLAGS_ARGV}"
+#   echo "Hello, ${FLAGS_name}."
+#   -- end hello.sh --
+#
+#   $ ./hello.sh -n Kate
+#   Hello, Kate.

+# these systems, only short flags are recognized.
