/**
  * <p>This is a generic command line parsing class.  The programmer need only specify
  * the characteristics of their command line(ie. positional parameters, flags, etc)
  * and this class will perform the rest of the parsing work.  As an added bonus this
  * class will also create formated help text that displays the syntax of this
  * command line.
  *
  * <p>The main parameter to the CommandLine constructor is a two dimensional String
  * array.  There are 5 columns in this array and as many rows as needed for each
  * flag or positional parameter.  The five columns are:
  *
  * <ol>
  * <li>The name of the flag(eg. "help" or "a", etc)
  *     Note: no dash should be in the name here.  The user would specify "-help" on the
  *           command line though.
  * <li>The name of the flag parameter(if any)
  * <li>A string indicating whether this flag can appear more than once on the
  *     command line.
  * <li>A string indicating whether this flag must be specified on the command line.
  * <li>A help text string which describes this particular flag or positional parameter.
  * </ol>
  *
  * <p>Each row in the string array is associate with either a positional parameter
  * or with a flag.  For example, consider this command line:
  * <ul>
  * <li>My_prog required_parm1 -ab parm_for_ab required_parm2 -help optional_parms
  * </ul>
  *
  * <p>In this example My_prog is the name of the program.  required_parm1 and
  * required_parm2 must be specified on the command line.  Notice that they do not
  * have to be adjacent to each other on the command line. optional_parms may optionally
  * specified.  optional_parms can be 0 or more parameters.  They does not need to be
  * adjacent to the required parameters, but they do need to follow the required
  * parameters. Two flags are specified "-ab" and "-help".  The "-ab" flag has a
  * parameter "parm_for_ab" associated with it.  Note: a flag can not have an optional
  * parameter. (ie. a flag either never have a parameter or it always has a parameter)
  * In this example, the first two rows in the string array would describe required_parm1
  * and required_parm2.  The third entry would describe optional_parms.  The fourth and
  * fifth rows would describe "-ab" and "-help".  For this command line the string array
  * would look like this:
  *
  * <ul>
  * <li>{ { CommandLine.POSITIONAL, "parm1", CommandLine.NO_DUPS,
  *       CommandLine.REQUIRED, "parm1 help text" },
  * <li>{ CommandLine.POSITIONAL, "parm2", CommandLine.NO_DUPS,
  *       CommandLine.REQUIRED, "parm2 help text" },
  * <li>{ CommandLine.POSITIONAL, "optional_parms", CommandLine.DUPS_OK,
  *       CommandLine.REQUIRED, "optional help text" },
  * <li>{ "ab", "parm_for_ab", CommandLine.NO_DUPS,
  *       CommandLine.OPTIONAL, "ab help text" },
  * <li>{ "help", CommandLine.NO_PARM, CommandLine.NO_DUPS,
  *       CommandLine.OPTIONAL, "displays this help text" } }
  * </ul>
  *
  * <p>String array rules:
  *
  * <ol>
  * <li>Positional rows must always come first in the array.  These rows must
  *     have a name specified in column 2, except for one case.  If you want to indicate that
  *     there are no optional positional parameters you would put CommandLine.NO_PARM
  *     in column 2 of the positional row.  You would also need to put CommandLine.OPTIONAL
  *     in column 4 since this row is for optional parameters(or the non-existence of
  *     optional parameters as the case may be)
  * <li>Once a positional row specifies that it is optional, no further positional rows
  *     may be specified.
  * <li>At least one positional row must be specified, even if it is to just to specify that
  *     there are no optional parameters.
  * <li>Flag names must be in lower case.  Note: the user can specify upper or lower case
  *     on the command line.
  * <li>If a flag has a parameter the name of the parameter should be put into column 2.
  *     otherwise CommandLine.NO_PARM should be put in column 2.
  * <li>If a flag is allowed to appear more than once on the command line then
  *     CommandLine.DUPS_OK should be put into column 3, otherwise CommandLine.NO_DUPS
  *     should be put into column 3.
  * <li>If a flag must be specified on the command line then CommandLine.REQUIRED should
  *     be specified in column 4, otherwise CommandLine.OPTIONAL should be specified.
  * <li>A help flag must be specified.
  * <li>The strings specified in the flags column, the parameter name column, and the
  *     help column are always translated using the resource bundle specified.  Of
  *     course the special string values such as POSITIONAL and NO_PARM are not
  *     translated.
  * </ol>
  *
  * <p> Flag matching rules:
  * <ol>
  * <li>The parser will attempt to match a user specified flag with the minimum number
  *     of programmer specified flag characters.  For example, if the programmer has
  *     specified that the flag is "help" the user could specify "-h", "-he", "-hel", or
  *     "-help".  If the programmer has also specified a flag called "hello", the
  *     user would get an error message for specifing either "-h", "-he" or "-hel", since
  *     it is ambiguous which flag is being refered to.  Both "-hell" and "-hello"
  *     would be ok for the user to specify the hello flag on the command line.
  * <li>If a flag has a parameter, the parameter may be immediately adjacent to the flag.
  *     For example if "abcd" is specified as a flag with a parameter, the user could
  *     specify the following assuming there are no other ambiguous flags. "-abcdparm",
  *     "-abcparm", "-abparm", or "-aparm" where parm is the parameter for the flag.
  *     (Of course the user can always put a white space between the flag and the
  *     parameter.)
  * <li>If a flag does not have a parameter and a parameter is adjacent to it then this
  *     parameter is interpreted as a positional parameter.  For example if "abcb" is
  *     specified as a flag and the user specifies "-abhello", then the first "ab" will be
  *     interpreted as the flag and "hello" will be interpreted as a positional
  *     parameter.
  * </ol>
