Description

common-cli comes with the Groovy distro and could be used within any Groovy
command-line script if that wasn't so cumbersome and un-groovy to use.

a few lines should be enough to setup all supported flags and parameters of
each script.

sensible defaults should be given for help formatting and command-line parsing
(I'd suggest Posix-parser).

maximum re-use of existing commons-cli functionality is desirable.
