It is also possible that cmd.exe/command.com does do the globbing and
that the default _setargv reads the command line and resets the argv
array. I would do this if I had the MS compiler; but, try with this
sample code creating your own _setargv which simply does nothing
(maybe output a message so that you know that your _setargv was called).
Colin Peters and Jacob Navia, I hope you are reading this. With the
startup code of Mingw32 or LCC is any default globbing done?
