%% Interfaces:
%%  - plain_cl/0 :      to be used ONLY by the dialyzer C program.
%%  - run/1:            Erlang interface for a command line-like analysis
%%  - gui/0/1:          Erlang interface for the gui.
%%  - format_warning/1: Get the string representation of a warning.
%%  - format_warning/1: Likewise, but with an option whether
%%			to display full path names or not
%%  - plt_info/1:       Get information of the specified plt.
