+    std::cout << "Spice-xpi test page generator\n\n"
+              << "Usage: ./generator [-h] [-i input] [-o output]\n\n"
+              << "Application options:\n"
+              << "  -i, --input     input filename (stdin used, if not specified)\n"
+              << "  -o, --output    output filename (stdout used, if not specified)\n"
+              << "  -h, --help      prints this help\n";

Could you explain the use case? How does it work? Give some example, write a readme or something. I am a little bit afraid that this is something too big to maintain here. Also, it should probably be in some subdirectory (if not in a separate repository)
