- Well, that's a known problem :-) Fortunately, empty parameters mostly
- occur as parameters to 'test', and this is normally (or can be) a
- builtin command of the shell.

- Your proposal for an ARGV extension seems to work. If 'we' all (MiNT-Libs,
- and GNU-Libs, PureC startup code and so on) agree on this, that could be
- a solution...
