The problem is, that a command line seperator for the tokenizer is not
provided by boost, so you rely on external code.

If I use the tokenizer, I have to parse the arguments, copy them in a
vector and then pass it to your module.

Embedded spaces should be placed in quotation marks which should be
removed by the tokenizer. Arguments could be seperated by one ore more
space.

This is what I will use now, but what I don't like on this solution is
that it is compiler dependand.
