[Genparse-users] #gp_include and other extensions

[<li...@mi...>]

Hi Mike,

I want to add some more features/changes to Genparse in order to be able to
apply Genparse to the GNU coreutils:

1. A new directive #gp_include which will include other Genparse files 
   into the main Genparse files.

2. A __NEW_PRINT__ directive in the #usage section. This allows to 
   partition the help text into multiple print commands. Especially
   for translations it is more practical to have sections of not 
   more than 6-7 lines.

3. A __COMMAND__ directive in the #usage section. Can be used for 
   adding a function call to the usage section.

4. A __NL__ directive in the #usage section. Allows to break lines
   manually while automatic line breaking is on (#break_lines 
   directive).

5. A new global directive #export_long_options which adds a function
   get_long_options () which exports the long_options array used by 
   getopt_long. This is required because the GNU glibc uses it for
   printing errors.

6. Add a space before opening braces. For example write f () instead 
   of f(). The GNU coding style recommends this. I want to change this
   both in the generated and the genparse source code for consistency.

7. Add GPL preambles to all Genparse source files.
