 ============================
 This module contains some limited functionality that allows OpenCV functions be used from Julia. Upon installation the binding files are automatically registered with Julia's package manager like any normal package.

+The easiest way to use OpenCV from Julia bindings is to use the version registered with Julia's package manager. This is also the only tested way to use Julia bindings on Windows. To do that simply start the Julia REPL. Hit `]` and then type `add OpenCV`.

 The generation process and the method by which the binding works are similar to the Python bindings. The only major difference is that CxxWrap.jl does not support optional arguments. As a consequence, it's necessary to define the optional arguments in Julia code which adds a lot of additional complexity.
