+Usage:

+ENDUSAGE
+
+HELP = <<ENDHELP
+
+    Traverse through globbed files, making a json cache based on their mtime.
+    If a cache exists, changes the mtime of existing unchanged (based on MD5
+    hash) files to the one in the cache.
+
+    Options:
+
+    globs           Ruby-compatible glob strings (ex some/path/**/*.java)
+                    A extension pattern is allowd in the form %{pattern}
+                    (ex some/path/*.{%{pattern1},%{pattern2}})
+                    The globs support the following patterns:
+                     %{cpp} - common C++ extensions
+
+    -g, --globfile  A file with list of globs to perform (one per line)
+
+    -?, -h, --help  Show this help message.
+    -v, --version   Show the version number (#{VERSION})
+    -q, --quiet     Don't log anything to stdout
+    -V, --verbose   Show extra logging
+    -d, --dryrun    Don't change any files on the filesystem
+    -c, --cache     Specify the cache file for input and output.
+                    [Default is .mtime_cache.json]
