	<longdescription lang="en">
	cmdln.py is an extension of Python's default cmd.py module that provides "a
	simple framework for writing line-oriented command interpreters". The idea
	(with both cmd.py and cmdln.py) is to be able to quickly build
	multi-sub-command tools (think cvs or svn) and/or simple interactive shells
	(think gdb or pdb). cmdln.py's extensions make it more natural to write
	sub-commands, integrate optparse for simple option processing, and make
	having good command documentation easier.
