[RFC PATCH 0/1] make cmdline library easier to use

[Bruce Richardson]

And now for something completely different... :-)

While it's nice that DPDK includes a commandline library for easily
adding interactivity to applications, the library itself is a little
clunky to use, due to the massive amounts of boilerplate definitions
required. Having used it recently on an app I was playing with for
testing, I decided the situation can potentially be improved with it
by use of a script to produce the boilerplate when given a simple
list of commands the user wants to add to the app.

This is the result of that effort. Sending it here as a rough-draft to
get feedback on whether this is worth including in DPDK itself.
Hopefully others may find it of use.
