I've following little problem:
should this code pass argv[0] as 'args.exe'?

   symlink("args.exe", "linkargs.exe");
   spawnl(P_WAIT, "linkargs.exe", "args.exe", "oh", "well", NULL);

If yes, (I assumed that), then the following code in go32_exec() worries me:

  save_argv0 = argv[0];
  argv[0] = unconst(program, char *); /* since that's where we really found it */

Could anyone put some light on this?
