autogenpb tries to generate a sort.pb.go file for a protobuf

Install with:

	go install go.wit.com/apps/autogenpb@latest

More information at:

	https://go.wit.com/

The protobuf is assumed to have a 'standard' format.

That is the .proto file:

* only defines one thing and it's the same name as the file
* uses the concept of 'plural' (like ruby on rails)
	This means, the file should be "apples.proto" and inside
	have 'message Apple' and 'message Apples'
	The "message Apples" should have a repeated Apple apples

There is an example in the code:

	go-clone go.wit.com/apps/autogenpb
`
}

func (args) Version() string {
	return "go-clone " + VERSION + "    Built on " + BUILDTIME
