Filing an RFE is probably the better alternative for something simple
like that.
Of course, if this were my code, I'd do something like this instead:
if ((cp = strrchr(argv[0], '/')) == NULL)
cp = argv[0];
else
cp++;
That should work on any system, and doesn't require reaching for a
non-portable construct like 'program_invocation_short_name'.
As for the #defines issue, well, writing portable code can sometimes
be hard, but I think it beats trying to coerce all systems to look the
same.
