   FFS, why are you always looking for some argument?   
      
   Have the last word if you like. If it makes you happier, I will admit I   
   was deliberately misleading and totally wrong.   
      
   But about what, I don't know! FWIW, I first mentioned GetModuleFileName   
   as a possibility when argv[0] was not available.   
      
   So I now withdraw that suggestion. That means that if argv[0] isn't   
   available, then you're fucked, since there are apparently no workarounds   
   that would be 100% equivalent to what argv[0] would have provided.
