 * A class to parse and extract information about shell commands.

 * <ul>
 *      <li>Take a command-line (eg "/bin/sh -c /path/to/my/script") and split it
 *          into its component parts (eg. the command "/bin/sh" and the arguments
 *          "-c","/path/to/my/script")
 *      </li>
 *      <li>Take a command and a list of arguments and combine them to
 *          form a complete command line.
 *      </li>
 *      <li>Determine whether the binary specified by a command exists in the
 *          user's PATH.
 *      </li>
 *      <li>Determine whether a command-line specifies the execution of
 *          another command as the root user using su/sudo etc.
 *      </li>
