In most cases grabbing argc/argv isn't required since allegro

I know, I wrote that piece of code ;)
Someone should
check to see what is supported and where.
As far as I remember, getexename() is SystemV, or at least works on
Solaris. Looking in /proc works on Linux and using ps should work
anywhere, but just in case it doesn't we fall back to argv[0].
But currently, I dont think MOST of
the unix platforms have proper GL support, and I only have access
to a few of
them (linux, *BSD, and OpenSolaris), and I'm pretty sure only one
of them has
actual GL support. But then, we won't be stuck with hardware only
drivers for
ever...
I'm confused. What is "GL support"? OpenGL support? What does that
have to do with being able to grab the executable name?
