Right, the library assumes argc/argv or vector of strings.

I guess that's the right job for boost::tokenizer... Frankly, I've missed
the WinMain case, and not sure what to do. The problem is that single
string might erase important information --- what happens if you have
command line argument with embedded space. Maybe, using __argv/__argc,
as suggested by Nuno Lucas is just better.
