 * Changed behaviour of class OFConsoleApplication to support automatic
 * evaluation of "--help" option for command line application with no
 * mandatory parameter.
 *
 * Revision 1.21  2000/03/03 14:02:46  meichel

 * Revision 1.20  2000/03/02 12:39:11  joergr
 * Fixed inconsistency: console applications with no or only optional
 * parameters could not be started without any command line argument
 * because this was always regarded identical with "--help" (print usage).
 *
 * Revision 1.19  1999/10/04 10:02:31  joergr
 * Fixed bug in wildcard expansion (concerning "direct option" feature).
 *

 *
 * Revision 1.10  1999/04/26 16:32:47  joergr
 * Added support to define minimum width of short and long option columns.
 * Removed bug: empty parameters have always been interpreted as options.
 * Enhanced support of wildcard expansion under Windows (now very similar
 * to Unix shells).
 *
 * Revision 1.9  1999/03/24 16:59:38  joergr
 * Added optional parameters to define minimum width of columns for short and
 * long options in syntax output.
 * Changed optional integer parameter in method findOption to enum type.
 *
 * Revision 1.8  1999/02/08 11:51:38  joergr

 * +) and signed numbers which can be valid parameters.
 *
 * Revision 1.5  1998/12/02 17:38:53  joergr
 * Introduced new enum type used to indicate the status when converting
 * parameter values (similar to option values). Changed return value of
 * getParam() methods to this type. Added corresponding getStatusString()
