The only system call we need is GetCommandLineW() (either explicitly or
indirectly via wmain), which is implemented on Windows9x/Me. Whether or not
it works is a different question. Care to do some tests for me? I only have
NT convenient here.

A complete text search of my copy of the documentation (which, admittedly,
may not be complete) turns up a small handful of functions, all of which are
marked 'NT only' or Windows 2000 only'.

How do we get command-line parameters in UTF8 without first getting the
command line from windows in UCS2 format? As far as I can tell from the
documentation, the only two options are ANSI code page or UCS2.
