  extern void Parser_dhInit (Parser_dh p, int argc, char *argv[]);
  /* Init enters <flag,value> pairs in its internal database in
     the following order:

     (1)   $PCPACK_DIR/options_database  
     (2)   "database" in local directory, if the file exists
     (3)   "pathname/foo" if argv[] contains a pair of entries:
     -db_filename pathname/foo
     (4)   flag,value pairs from the command line (ie, argv)

     If a flag already exists, its value is updated if it is
     encountered a second time.  

     WARNING! to enter a negative value, you must use two dashes, e.g:
     -myvalue  --0.1
     otherwise, if you code "-myvalue -0.1" you will have entered
     the pair of entries <-myvalue, 1>, <-0.1, 1>.  Yuck!@#
     But this works, since Euclid doesn't use negative numbers much.

     If the 2nd entry is missing, a value of "1" is assumed (this only
     works on the command line; for files, you must explicitly code a
     value.  See $PCPACK_DIR/options_database for samples.

     The following will cause Parser_dhHasSwitch(p, "-phoo") to return false:
     -phoo 0
     -phoo false
     -phoo False
     -phoo FALSE
     any other value, including something silly like -phoo 0.0
     will return true.
