   __EXPORT CommandOptionParse* ost::makeCommandOptionParse (int argc, char ** argv, const char *
       comment, CommandOption * options = defaultCommandOptionList)
       makeCommandOptionParse will create an implementation of a CommandOptionParse object. This
       particular implementation is a wrapper around getopt_long(3). That interface unfortunatly
       does not provide enough information to give the best error messages with malformed input.
       If the implementation changes there is a good chance that the binary interface will remain
       the same.

           cmdlineopt.cpp.

   class __EXPORT ost::Conditional
   __EXPORT CommandOption* ost::defaultCommandOptionList [extern]
       This defines a linked list head pointer for all the command line options that use the
       default list. It will most likely be used in most cases without being explicitly
       referenced in application code. It is a default value of various method's parameters.
