Hi!
When doing the headless PR I started looking into our AppParamsParser. And what it does is rather simple but some things popped up I wanted to discuss.
a) Which of the options are needed? Feels like most aren't
b) We don't we use a third party parser, http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_57_0/doc...tions.html or GNU getopt ?
c) We call AppParam parsing well before application is started, so it feels a bit weird that its tied to app. Wouldn't it be better if AppParamParser just returned a struct with options, and we apply those in XBMC_Run?
