Re: PATCH: Support "@file"

Hi DJ,

--extra-switches-from-file=<file> 

I don't see the need, and neither DJGPP nor MSVC support it (they both
support @file).

OK.

If you want to play with expandargv, I'd rather the effort go into
supporting find's -print0 option, by detecting NULs in the file and
switching to NUL-delimited arguments instead of whitespace (and
skipping the quoting logic too).  This feature would give us a
security layer for managing files that the usual shell quoting
doesn't.

Another one for my Copious Free Time(tm) then. :-)

Cheers
  Nick
