   \brief Parser for complex command line options
   
   This is a little parser to parse more complex command line options.
   The syntax of the command line is
   "ssd:src=img1.v,ref=img2.v+lm:src=lm1.lmx,ref=lm2.lmx,f=[tsp:r=3]"
   with one level of brackets allowed
   
   Above options string will be split off like:
   < ssd, { < src, img1.v  >, < ref, img2.v  > } >
   <   lm, ( < src, lm1.lmx >, < ref, lm2.lmx >, < f, tsp:r=3 > } >
*/
