It breaks programs that pass a specific argv[0] and require that it
stay that way.  Make sure that the symlink code in the stub doesn't
break.

Personally, I wouldn't mess with a proxy's argv[0] at all.  Maybe we
need a new crt0 flag that says to ignore the argv[0] from proxy, and
use the dos-style one instead?
