Note that it's not always accurate on Unix systems. There are a number of
ways scripts can be invoked, only some of which pass the name of the file
in argv[0]. (This is the same as a the generic Unix question: `How do I
find out where my executable lives?' It's basically not solveable.) I
don't know about Windows, though.
