#
# -h  : help message
# -src <expr>=><expr> : e.g. -src "(foo)src\.(bar)=>$1.$2" will add foosrc.bar to <basename>.dtx to be extracted to foo.bar
# -doc <filename> : file containing documentation.
# -prefinale <string> : text to add to dtx file just before \Finale (added to version 0.91b)
# <basename> : create <basename>.dtx and <basename>.ins
