Sebastian Spaeth 85e8aea94f Convert to use OptionParser for command line handling. 
Move the command line option handling from the more manual "getopts"
module to the full fledged "OptionParser". It has the advantage of
e.g. automatically creating the Help text that is shown with the
"-h/--help" option rather than having to hardcode the text and
format the line breaking manually.

Also, do away with the version check when invoking OfflineImap so we
do not have to change the version number in three places when bumping
it.

Rename startup() to run() which sounds more in line what other modules
call their run functions (e.g. Thread.run()).

Description

Welcome to the official OfflineIMAP project.

OfflineIMAP is a tool to simplify your e-mail reading. With OfflineIMAP, you can read the same mailbox from multiple computers. You get a current copy of your messages on each computer, and changes you make one place will be visible on all other systems. For instance, you can delete a message on your home computer, and it will appear deleted on your work computer as well. OfflineIMAP is also useful if you want to use a mail reader that does not have IMAP support, has poor IMAP support, or does not provide disconnected operation.

OfflineIMAP works on pretty much any POSIX operating system, such as Linux, BSD operating systems, MacOS X, Solaris, etc.

OfflineIMAP is a Free Software project licensed under the GNU General Public License. You can download it for free, and you can modify it. In fact, you are encouraged to contribute to OfflineIMAP, and doing so is fast and easy.

This software was written by John Goerzen, who retired from maintaining. It is now maintained by Nicolas Sebrecht.
