*                                                                             *
*  Name   : value_tagger                                                      *
*  Author : Chris Koeritz                                                     *
*                                                                             *
*  Purpose:                                                                   *
*                                                                             *
*    Scoots through the entire known code base and builds a list of all the   *
*  outcome (and filter) values for that tree.  A manifest of the names is     *
*  produced.  Most of the behavior is driven by the ini file whose name is    *
*  passed on the command line.                                                *
*    Note that the set of items that can be searched for can be specified     *
*  in the ini file, although they must follow the format of:                  *
*      pattern(name, value, description)                                      *
*  where the "pattern" is the search term and the other three items specify   *
*  the enumerated value to be marked.                                         *
*                                                                             *
