Removing CommandLineParser from scalax.io fork

[Josh Suereth]

All,

I'm debating removing CommandLineParser form the scalax.io fork.   The reasoning is thus:

• Paul Phillips is interested in something I/O related he can place in scala trunk for 2.8.0
• CommandLineParser relies on PolyHashMap which I do not believe exists in scala trunk's collections
• I'd like to focus mostly on a simple File API and I/O input/output convenience methods (actually, scalax is pretty rock-solid here, IMHO.  Just need to upgrade to 2.8.0 collections)
• David MacIver has an interesting reflective approach to Command Line arguments that may trump the current approach of CommandLineParser

Anyway, wanted to get a little feedback here.  Anyone have any thoughts?

Sounds reasonable to me.  If paulp needs something soon for trunk then priority should be on getting to that point.
