+A program in fptools should try follow the following rules for
+commandline arguments:

+- The
-v and --verbose options should be
+used to generate verbose output (intended for the user).
+
+ - The
-d and --debug options should be
+used to generate debugging output (intended for the developer).
+
+ - The
-? and --help options should be used
+to display usage information on stdout. The program should exit
+successfully afterwards.
+
+ - The
-V and --version options should be
+used to output version information on stdout, which includes one line
+of the form 'Program version
+Major.Minor[.Patchlevel] ... '. The program
+should exit successfully afterwards.
+
+
+When an unknown commandline argument is encountered, the program
+should display usage information on stderr and exit unsuccessfully.
