The only rebuttal against this I can think if is that it reduces the
amount of code we can share between ports (say sparc & sparc64, pmax
and newsmips, m68k*).  Given the nature of the programs we are talking
about, this may not be a sound argument.  If you can offer even the
flimsiest of arguments against that one (and mrg doesn't counter-strike)
then I'll drop bootprog_name[] ;-)
