SYNOPSIS
========
ct-* [compilation args] [filename.cpp] [--variant=<VARIANT>]

DESCRIPTION
===========
The various ct-* tools exist to build C/C++ executables with almost no
configuration. For example, to build a C or C++ program, type

ct-cake --auto

which will try to determine the correct source files to generate executables
from and also determine the tests to build and run.

A variant is a configuration file that specifies various configurable settings
like the compiler and compiler flags. Common variants are "debug" and "release".

Options are parsed using python-configargparse. This means they can be passed
in on the command line, as environment variables or in config files.
Command-line values override environment variables which override config file
values which override defaults. Note that the environment variables are
captilized. That is, a command line option of --magic=cpp is the equivalent of
an environment variable MAGIC=cpp.

Other notable tools are

* ct-headertree: provides information about structure of the include files
* ct-filelist: provides the list of files needed to be included in a tarball (e.g. for packaging)
