/** This class helps parsing argc and argv into a map of parameters. We have 3 kinds of formats:


    -w           this leads to a key/value pair of "w"/void

    --port=25    "port"/"25"

    --daemon     "daemon"/void

    We do not support "--port 25" syntax.

    It can also read from a file. This file can contain '#' to delimit comments.

    Some sample code:

    \code

    ArgvMap R;
  
    R.set("port")="25";  // use this to specify default parameters
    R.file("./default.conf"); // parse configuration file
    
    R.parse(argc, argv); // read the arguments from main()
    
    cout<<"Will we be a deamon?: "<<R.isset("daemon")<<endl;
    cout<<"Our port will be "<<R["port"]<<endl;
    
    map<string,string>::const_iterator i;
    cout<<"via iterator"<<endl;
    for(i=R.begin();i!=R.end();i++)
    cout<<i->first<<"="<<i->second<<endl;
    \endcode
