Actually, write publicly!

Is the PAL the right/best place for this kind of software
distribution?

Nearly two years ago now I wrote a command line option/argument
handler built on the Command_Line package's services.  I
submitted it to the ARA Programming contest just before it
was recast as a student-only competition (due to lack of student
participation) and then vanished.  The code's still there, in fact
this thread reminded me of it and and I went to take a look at it
last night.  I just haven't really known what to do with it to make
it available to anyone who wants it.
