More accurately, this is an Operating System issue.  The POSIX/Ada
binding contains a standard way for an Ada program to obtain command
line parameters and environment variables in a POSIX environment.
Current Unix compiler vendors also provide access to this O.S. feature
(e.g.  Verdix package COMMAND_LINE).
