#2677: unnecessary inconsistency in boost:::program_options examples

     Type:  Bugs               |      Status:  new    
Milestone:  Boost 1.38.0       |   Component:  None   
  Version:  Boost 1.37.0       |    Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                     |

 The example programs all have main declared as follows:

 int main(int ac, char* av[])

 This should be "argc", "argv" to be consistent with the rest of the known
 C/C++ universe.

 Is saving four letters really worth introducing a variation from 30+ years
 worth of examples, going all the way back to K&R(78)?
