There are two ways to specify command line arguments for an application
with gdb:

1) Use "set args" command, e.g., "set args arg1 arg2 arg3"
2) Supply them with the run command, e.g., "run arg1 arg2 arg3". This does
an implicit "set args", so you won't need to re-enter the args unless you
want to change them.

You can put a "set args" command (or any gdb command, for that matter)
into an init file. When started, gdb will read ~/.gdbinit (gdb.ini on
cygwin). When you load an executable, it should also read the
.gdbinit/gdb.ini in the exe's directory, but this appears broken on
current gdbs (or this behavior was changed). This now only happens when
gdb is started (it will read both ~/.gdbinit and ./.gdbinit).
