Description

hello,
it would be very nice to have a cross platform cli api. (e.g. -o instead of \o on windows)
i could add cxxopts or any other option parser.
but i am not sure where it would break things. i guess the pg is currently used to create the platform packages, is not it?
i am happy to make this change if you are fine with it.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the current CLI entry point and the platform-package generation path, then determine how options differ across platforms and whether adopting cxxopts is compatible. Done would require an agreed cross-platform CLI API and confirmation that existing package generation is not broken.
