+#
+# Notes on adding command line options:
+#
+# To allow all command line options to (a) have a genkernel or architecture-specific
+# default defined in a consistent location, (b) have a site default defined in
+# "/etc/genkernel.conf", and (c) override these other two settings on the command
+# line, please follow the following coding guidelines when adding command line
+# options:
+#
+# Step 1:
+#     For boolean command line options (for example --foo),
+#         * Set up both a --foo and --no-foo case below.
+#         * Set the CMD_FOO variable to 1 in the --foo case and 0 in the
+#           --no-foo case.
+#    
+#     For parametric command line options (for example --foo=bar),
+#         * Set up both a --foo and --no-foo case below.
+#         * Just set the CMD_FOO variable appropriately.  In most cases,
+#           use `parse_opt "$*"`.
+#
+#     Include a logging call to the print_info function.
+#    
+# Step 2:
+#     Add a call to the set_config_with_override() function in the
+#     determine_real_args() function in "gen_determineargs.sh".  It should look
+#     something like this:
+#
+#         set_config_with_override <type> FOO CMD_FOO "<default>"
+#
+#     <type> should be 1 for boolean command line options and 2 for parametric
+#     command line options.
+#
+#     "<default>" can either be blank (if there's no default), a constant (if
+#     there's a fixed default), or a calculated architecture specific value.
+#
+# Step 3:
+#     Later on in the determine_real_args() function, run any code that needs
+#     to be run based on the value of your command line option or its default
+#     value.  Putting it there makes sure that it's run against all sources
+#     of the argument value.
+#
+# Step 4:
+#     Document your new command in the longusage() function and in the man
+#     page source.  It's probably also a good idea to include a commented out 
+#     example of the site default in genkernel.conf.
+#
+# Note that these are just guidelines; you will see some well thought out
+# exceptions coded below.
