I wasn't following this discussion closely so maybe this is useless information, but for Cygwin you can either use the undocumented global __argv or you can use /proc/cmdline. /proc/self/cmdline is going to be pretty slow, however.

It looks like pure Windows console apps define _argv in stdlib.h also but I've never used this and don't know if it is what it looks like.
