Title:
  CLI framework should support alternative option formats

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  At present the CLI framework grabs $argv wholesale and works through
  it testing whole words.

  Typically, the short form of an option has always allowed a slightly different form. Whilst the long option might be
    --foo=bar
  The short option should support:
    -f bar

  Additionally, both options should support the use of quotes:
    --title="Hello World"
    - "Hello World"

  We therefore need to implode the $argv array, and write a suitable
  regexp to handle this in a while loop instead
