You mean "char *argv[]", of course.

Why not? AFAIK, there's only two legal definitions anyway: that one, and the
one without any arguments. From a user's point of view, I think it would be
less of an inconvenience to have to define main() that way, than use the
END_OF_MAIN macro. Heck, most games probably want to support a few command line
options, anyway.
