-module SmcGet
-  
-  #This is the Console User Interface smc-get exposes. Each command
-  #is represented by a class in the CUICommands module. Those classes
-  #have three methods: ::help, which should return a summary on how to use
-  #the command (NOT print it, that's done by an internal method), #parse,
-  #which gets the command-line for the subcommand passed in form of an
-  #array you should destructively (i.e. removing the elements) analyse,
-  #and #execute which finally executes the command. You are free to print out
-  #anything inside that method.
-  #
-  #Note that inside the #parse method you can set instance variables
-  #as you would do for any normal class. You can then grep their values
-  #inside the #execute method. Furthermore, if inside #parse you detect
-  #an error in the commandline the user provided to you, raise the
-  #CUI::InvalidCommandline exception with a meaningful message which will
-  #then be presented to the user.
-  #
-  #The last things one should do when adding a command, is to provide
-  #a ::help class method that returns help on the usage of the command
-  #(it will be called when the user issues <tt>smc-get help YOURCOMMAND</tt>
-  #and it's return value will be shown to the user) and to provide
-  #a ::summary class method whose return value is integrated in the
-  #output of <tt>smc-get help</tt> under the COMMANDS section.
-  #
-  #In every method you add, you can make use of the CUI.debug method. If you
-  #hand it a string, it will be printed only if running in debug mode, and
-  #if you hand it any other object, it's +inspect+ value will be printed--if
-  #running in debug mode. See the SmcGet::CUICommands::Command class's
-  #documentation for more information on the hook methods.
-  #
-  #Internally the flow is as follows:
-  #1. The user calls CUI#initialize with ARGV.
-  #2. That method triggers CUI#parse_commandline and passes ARGV to it.
-  #3. #parse_commandline analyses the array it receives and figures out
-  #   what command class inside the CUICommands module to instantiate.
-  #4. CUICommand::Command.new calls #parse on the instantiated Command
-  #   object (this is a subclass of CUICommand::Command). Note that
-  #   smc-get has not been set up for now, and calls to Repository#install or
-  #   the like will fail.
-  #5. The user calls CUI#start.
-  #6. #start looks into @command and invokes the #execute method on it.
-  #7. #start shuts down the interpreter via #exit. If the command execution
-  #   method returned an integer value, it is used as the exit status.
-  #
-  #Have a look at the existing commands to see how it works. Especially
-  #+help+ is quite easy to understand, so begin there.

-USAGE:
-#{File.basename($0)} [OPTIONS] COMMAND [PARAMETERS...]
-
-DESCRIPTION:
-Install and uninstall levels from the Secret Maryo Chronicles contributed level
-repository.
-
-COMMANDS:
-#{str = ''
-CUICommands.constants.sort.each do |c|
-  next if c == :Command or c == :InvalidCommandline
-  str << '  ' << CUICommands.const_get(c).summary << "\n"
-  end
-str}
-
-Use "help COMMAND" to get help on a specific command. "help" without an
-argument displays this message.
-
-OPTIONS FOR #{File.basename($0).upcase} ITSELF
-  -c\t--config-file FILE\tUse FILE as the configuration file.
-  -d\t--data-directory DIR\tSet the directory where to save packages into.
-  -D\t--debug\t\t\tEnter debug mode. A normal user shouldn't use this.
-  -r\t--repo-url URL\t\tSet the URL of the remote package repository.
-
-CONFIGURATION FILES
-You can use three kinds of configuration files with #{File.basename($0)}. They are,
-in the order in which they are evaluated:
-
-1. Global configuration file #{DEFAULT_CONFIG_FILE}.
-2. If existant, user-level configuration file #{USER_CONFIG_FILE}.
-3. If existant, configuration file given on the commandline via the -c option.
-
-Configuration files loaded later overwrite values set in previously loaded
-configuration files, i.e. values set in the configuration file provided via
-the commandline override those in the global and user-level configuration
-file, and those in the user-level configuration file override those in the
-global configuration file, etc.
-There is a 4th way to set options for #{File.basename($0)}:
-
-4. Options given via the commandline
-
-They override anything set in the configuration files, so specifying
-'-d /opt/smc' on the commandline would override any 'data_directory'
-setting in any of the configuration files.
