Kracken is a command line parsing package for easily dealing with UNIX-like command line options. While the new (Fortran 2008) GET_COMMAND routine is very welcome, it does not provide what Kracken does:

A standard style for parsing arguments and keywords. Admittedly, deciding on which keyword/argument syntax invokes holy wars (VERB,KEY1=VALUE,KEY2=VALUE,... vs verb -key1 value -key2 value ... , for example) but the Unix model seems to be popular lately.

A clear way to specify allowable keywords and default values

Simple access to the parsed data from procedures

Easy conversion from strings to numbers

Easy conversion from strings to arrays

This package includes a Simply Fortran example project.
