"Quick & dirty" command line parser for QT

argByKey.cpp

/*

USAGE
=====

command line args:-
user@box:~$ ./myApp  firstKey=Value1 --secondKey Value2 thirdKey=val3.1,val3.2,val3.3 --enable-foo

Code:-
QString param1   = QArgByKey("firstkey",'='); // Returns `Value1` from first pair
QString param2   = QArgByKey("--secondkey"); // Returns `Value2` from second pair
QString param3-1 = QArgByKey("--thirdkey",'=').split(',').at(0); // Returns `val3.1`
bool fooEnabled  = qApp->arguments().contains("--enable-foo"); //To check for `--enable-foo`
