        CuixBuilder — AutoCAD ribbon plugin generator

        WHAT IT DOES:
          Reads a JSON config and generates a complete AutoCAD .bundle folder:
            • PluginName.cuix        — partial CUIX (ribbon tab + panels + buttons)
            • PluginName_ToolTips.xaml — extended tooltips with GIF animations
            • PluginName.lsp         — LISP command file (copied from lispPath)
            • PluginName.Help.html   — offline HTML help (copied from lispPath dir)
            • PackageContents.xml    — AutoCAD plugin manifest

          Drop the .bundle folder in:
            %APPDATA%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\
          AutoCAD auto-loads on next startup — no CUILOAD needed.

        USAGE:
          CuixBuilder <config.json>       Build bundle from JSON config
          CuixBuilder <output.cuix>       Build a demo bundle (no config needed)
          CuixBuilder --help              Show this help

        CONFIG JSON FIELDS:
          pluginName      string   Internal name, no spaces (e.g. "DraftingTools")
          displayName     string   Human-readable name shown on ribbon tab
          tab             string   Ribbon tab label
          outputPath      string   Full path to output .cuix file
          acadDir         string   AutoCAD install dir (used to detect R-series)
          lispPath        string   Path to .lsp file to bundle (optional)
          panels[]
            name          string   Panel label on ribbon
            buttons[]
              label       string   Button text
              command     string   AutoCAD command or LISP macro (e.g. "(c:ZOOMSEL)")
