Ah, that's a different question.

For Cygwin, no such variables exist.  If you need something like this,
the only way that is portable is for *your* main() to save them
somewhere.

Of course, but that doesn't mean we all use the same software, or do
unportable things the same way.  If we did, there wouldn't be any
point, would there?
