# 2012-01-04, ArZa <arza@arza.us>:
#     version 0.4: settings for right align and space before help
# 2012-01-03, Sébastien Helleu <flashcode@flashtux.org>:
#     version 0.3: make script compatible with Python 3.x
# 2011-05-18, Sébastien Helleu <flashcode@flashtux.org>:
#     version 0.2: add options for aliases, start on load, list of commands to
#                  ignore; add default value in help of script options
# 2011-05-15, Sébastien Helleu <flashcode@flashtux.org>:
