+TODO: 
+ - add the others OpenEmbedded variables commonly used:
+ - parse command arguments and print usage on misuse
+    . prevent giving more than one .bb file in arguments
+ - write result to a file
+ - backup the original .bb file
+ - make a diff and ask confirmation for patching ?
+ - do not use startswith only:
+    /!\ startswith('SOMETHING') is not taken into account due to the previous startswith('S').
+ - count rule breaks and displays them in the order frequence
