`prelude_option_set_priority()` can be used to associate a priority with an option. This can be used to solve dependancies problem within differents options.

A priority of -1 mean an option will always be executed last (with all other option with a -1 priority).

The default priority for an option is 0, the caller is responssible for the way it assign priority (knowing that highest priority are always executed first).

`option` : | Pointer on an option object.
`priority` : | Priority of the option object.

Dump option available in `opt` and hooked to the given types. If `opt` is NULL, then the root of the option list is used.

`opt` : | Option(s) to print out.

`prelude_option_read()`, parse the given argument and try to match them against option in `option`. If an option match, it's associated callback function is called with the eventual option argument if any.

Option not matched on the command line are searched in the configuration file specified by `filename`.

if `option` is NULL, all system option will be matched against argc, and argv.

`option` : | A pointer on an option (list).
`filename` : | Pointer to the config filename.
`argc` : | Number of argument.
`argv` : | Argument list.

`prelude_option_add()` create a new option. The option is set to be the child of `parent`, unless it is NULL. In this case the option is a root option.

The `type` parameters can be set to PRELUDE_OPTION_TYPE_CLI (telling the option may be searched on the command line), PRELUDE_OPTION_TYPE_CFG (telling the option may be searched in the configuration file) or both.
