# Calculate the zero point of an image based on reference images or a
# catalog.
#
# This script will compute some basic parameters that are necessary for the
# computation of the zero point. These parameters are saved into a
# configuration Makefile. Finally, the Makefile is executed at the end of
# this script. The reason of using Make is to parallelize the computation
# of the zero point so it obtained faster than using a script.

# Separate command-line arguments from options and put the option values

#
# OPTIONS WITH A VALUE:
#
#   Each option has three lines because we take into account the three common
#   formats:
#   For long option names, '--longname value' and '--longname=value'.
#   For short option names, '-l value', '-l=value' and '-lvalue'
#   (where '-l' is the short version of the hypothetical '--longname option').
#
#   The first case (with a space between the name and value) is two
#   command-line arguments. So, we'll need to shift it twice. The
#   latter two cases are a single command-line argument, so we just need to
#   "shift" the counter by one.
#
#   IMPORTANT NOTE: the ORDER OF THE LATTER TWO cases matters: '-h*' should be
#   checked only when we are sure that its not '-h=*').
#
# OPTIONS WITH NO VALUE (ON-OFF OPTIONS)
#
#   For these, we just want the forms of '--longname' or '-l'. Nothing
#   else. So if an equal sign is given we should definitely crash and also,
#   if a value is appended to the short format it should crash. So in the
#   second test for these ('-l*') will account for both the case where we
#   have an equal sign and where we don't.
