Just because right now the code that parses the command line options is
platform dependant code.
The function that makes all the work is convertTo(filename, type), and
it's ~15 lines of real code... and here, "all the work" means "find the
best complet file name for your new file (~14 lines) and save it (1 line
of code)".
It seems to me that the logical place of this function is a hypothetical
AP_App (cross platform/dependent application), but there isn't such a
file.
Does anybody think that it would be better to make a new
/wp/ap/xp/ap_Convert.cpp, with that function?
