"""provide a simple OS-agnostic interface to various binary paths, e.g., for
GMSH oder CRTomo.

At the moment all paths are hard-coded, but this interface could be extended
to using a configuration file.

At the moment the following binaries have hard-coded default paths:

    * gmsh
    * CRTomo
    * CRMod
    * CutMcK

Examples
--------

>>> import crtomo.binaries as cBin
    gmsh_binary = cBin.get('gmsh')
    print(gmsh_binary)
/usr/bin/gmsh'
