The point was that you don't need this with hugs but do with runhugs
(and, hence, with ffihugs).

I was thinking in terms of moving the argument parsing hack out of
server.c and into runhugs.  I hadn't really thought about how I'd do
this - maybe have 'parse lots of options' and 'parse one option'
entrypoints.

Allowing multiple -L options per line would be easier though and we'd
only encounter the problem when passing filenames with spaces in them 
to hugs - probably only happens on windows.

Haven't tried yet whether your recent commit fixes this - but I wonder
if you're using something more recent than win98?
