[Mono-dev] Cross-platform command-lines

[Rafael Teixeira]

Did you look at how Mono.GetOptions adapts to each platform, if
desired. Just to give you food for thought.

Personally I like, what I've implemented on it: the simple usage of
accepting either "/" or "-" as the prefix, generally having
long/descriptive option names, with selected shortcuts for a small
number of them, accepting parameter values either after a "=" or ":"
or space (but documenting just one preferred choice to make things
easier to grasp and to keep consistent between users for when they
share their knowledge/scripts).

Yeah, I think it ended as a shameless plug, but take from it what
serves you better.

Thank you very much for nunit.
