> It is recommended that the command-line utilities provided by Corinthia use a common getopt model with single-letter options, verbose word options and common shared options (--version, --help, etc.).  stdin, stdout, and stderr should be redirectable (via the shell) and the utilities should work with pipes (with appropriate encoding caveats).
> The same flavors can be used for all platforms, with filenames given in platform-specific form (and "..." where needed) but parameters and options the same across platforms.
> The GNU getopt_long approach is widely-used.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getopt
