# Description:
# raptor module
# This module represents the running Raptor program. Raptor is started
# either by calling the Main() function, which creates an instance of
# the raptor.Raptor class and calls its methods to perform a build based
# on command-line parameters, or by explicitly creating a raptor.Raptor
# instance and calling its methods to set-up and perform a build.
