Oh, oh, it's probably just a typo for argv[0]. Okay, I take back that
thought ... we do need argv[0] to work.
A system-dependent hack in the Makefiles would be at least as ugly as a
system-dependent hack in main.c, but I think I like it better because
then the startup procedure isn't any different on netware than anywhere
else. If I understood the patch as given, people would've had to say
"postmaster -post ..." on netware; that's bad.
