Retrieving name of executable

- Subject: Retrieving name of executable
I think the name of the current executable is stored in myself->progname
within cygwin1.dll.
The more easily accessible __progname returns the basename of the
executable.
Is there a way for an application to obtain myself->program, other
than resorting to raw win32 call to GetModuleFileName()?
