Well, the trick there must be to parse the command line in two stages:
(1) One stage to separate the command line into individual parameters
and "canonicalize" their format; this code must be individual for each
platform. (For instance, Unix already splits up the command line into
individual parameters before passing those to the program, while Windows
passes just one long command line string.)
(2) One stage to scan through the list of individual parameters and
interpret them; this code should be the same for all platforms.

Yes, sorry.
