| Description: |
| The gflags package contains a library that implements commandline |
| flags processing. As such it's a replacement for getopt(). It has |
| increased flexibility, including built-in support for C++ types like |
| string, and the ability to define flags in the source file in which |
| they're used. |

| How to update platform configuration files: |
| The gen/ directory contains pre-generated configuration header files. |
| Historically, all operating systems and architectures have generated |
| similar configurations except for Windows. This is why there's only |
| posix and win directories below gen/. |
| When rolling gflags to a newer version, it's a good idea to check if |
| new configuration files needs to be generated as well. |
| Do this by running ./configure in the newly checked out version of |
| gflags. Then diff the generated files with the ones below gen/. |
| If you notice a diff, update the files with the updated ones. |
| If you suspect platform dependend changes other than Windows, you'll |
| have to checkout gflags on the other platforms as well and run |
| ./configure there too. |
