   __EXPORT CommandOptionParse* ost::makeCommandOptionParse (intargc, 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.

       Examples:
           cmdlineopt.cpp.

       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.
