I'd like to parse an ODBC connect string (or other
similarly constructed strings) using program_options.

So, I have something like:

Data Source=myServerAddress;Initial Catalog=myDataBase;Integrated 
Security=SSPI;

now, I could implement the function that converts this to
something I can use, like

--Data_Source myServerAddress --Initial_Catalog myDataBase 
--Integrated_Security SSPI

but I was wondering since there's already a split_winmain function,
is there a function that already does this, before I roll my own?
