-Overview
---------
-The Merge program is designed to merge the contents of similar modules into a
-single module for size reduction. The combined module will link in one copy of
-the libraries, rather than have multiple copies of the libraries linked in to
-each individual driver.
-
-Rules:
-  The ModuleType must be identical for each of the (leaf) modules.
-  At least one architecture type must be common for all modules, and the merged
-module will only support the common architecture types.
-  ALL modules to be merged must be in a directory structure below the location
-of the merged module.
-  The package must be within a directly directory line with the merged module's
-MSA file. (Parent directories.)
-  The copying of the files from the "leaf" directory into the merge module's
-directory structure must be handled by an external program.
-  The merge program must be run everytime a leaf module is modified.
-  The external copy program must also be run everytime a leaf module is modified.
-  Two or more leaf modules must be specified.
-  The merged module must be added to a package (SPD) file before it can be used.
-  PCD Driver Modules cannot be merged, nor combined with other modules.
-  Leaf Module Global BuildOptions and UserExtensions are not merged.

-  merge [-v] -t target [-u UiName] [-p PackageFile] dir1\leaf1 ... dirN\leafN [-h | -? | --help]
-    where:
-      -h | -? | --help            OPTIONAL - This Help Text
-      -t Target                   REQUIRED - The Name of the new Merge Module MSA file
-      -p Package                  OPTIONAL - The Name of the Package (SPD) file to add the target
-      -u UiName                   OPTIONAL - The User Interface Name for the Target Module
-      -v                          OPTIONAL - Verbose, print information messages.
-      -o OutputFileBasename       OPTIONAL - Set the Output Filename for this module to Basename
-      dir1\leaf1 ... dirN\leafN   REQUIRED The path to two or more MSA files that will be merged
