Runhugs as of Oct 2002 handled command-line args supplied by #!
scripts. HEAD however, doesn't.
Here's the issue. Given a script named `foogle-script' that starts
with...
#! /usr/bin/runhugs -98 -h20000
runhugs will be given the following arguments:
arg0: /usr/bin/runhugs
arg1: -98 -h20000
arg2: foogle-script
Note that the `-98' and `-h2000' have been collapsed to a single arg.
This is bizarre, but apparently it's what linux does. The problem is
that loadHugs will treat the argv like a normal one, and will expect
the `-98' to be a single argument.
I've tweaked processOptions to eat spaces and continue after it has
processed each toggle group (not checked in). Do people think this is
cool, or does anyone have an opinion about a better solution?
