  Top level tag, mandatory:
    <renderer>: "desc" gives a one line description.

  Header tags, not mandatory, must be specified only once.
    <melheader>: "s" is a mel script executed just after the file is read
    <meltrailer>: "s" is a mel script executed after all flags are converted
        to mel. Should contain at least the rendering command.

  Other tags:
    <sep>: "desc" produces a line in the help. Blank if desc is missing.
    <attr>: produces a setAttr line.
        "n" is the flag name.
        "s" the attribute name.
        "t" the parameter type, used in help description.
        "h" the help description.
    <attrString>: produces a setAttr line for a string attribute.
        Same parameters as <attr>, but for string attributes.
    <mel>: Calls a mel script.
        "n" is the flag name.
        "p" the number of parameters.
        "s" the string defining the action %1 ... %p are replaced with values
                read after the flag.
        "t" the parameter types, used in help description.
        "h" the help description.
