[Bug-moe] Version 1.7 of Arg_parser released

[Antonio Diaz Diaz]

I am pleased to announce the release of Arg_parser 1.7.

Arg_parser is an argument parser that follows POSIX and GNU conventions 
for command line arguments. There exist C++ and C versions of 
Arg_parser. The C++ version is implemented as a C++ class, while the C 
version is implemented as a single struct plus associated functions. 
Both are simpler, easier to use, and safer that 'getopt_long'.

The C++ version of Arg_parser can also parse options from configuration 
files.

Arg_parser was developed as the argument parser for GNU moe, because 
moe's argument parsing is rather complex. This is the reason why I ask 
bug reports for Arg_parser to be sent to address@hidden
