[Mat Hounsell <mat_geek@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have tried to code so far avoiding hardcoded strings to reduce localization
problems for command line programs.

But then I realized that it localization could be solved simply.

Under the directory where the executable is kept, there is stored a directory
doc which contains a directory foreach langauage and then a file for the
exectuables usage and help text.

As such an application would have the logic :

   main()
     if arguments are invalid then
       get binary location
       output name.usage to standard out
     endif
   end
