I have looked at XML Schema. I'll try to find a way to create descriptions out
of it. The problem is, that I don't only want to validate the configurations,
I also want to parse the Schema, whatever format it has, to create
CLOptionDescriptor[]. The bad thing is, that these descriptors can only
describe finite sets of options. XML Schema can describe an infinite set of
Configurations. I'll try to extend my CLI -> Configuration class for a XML
Schema to CLOptionDescriptor[] method for this. Perhaps I will only support a
subset of XML Schema. At least recursions have to be kept out.

I will. But I think the first part will take some time.
With kind regards
