Just curious, why didn't Dice use argv[0] to find the server name?

(FYI: A common trick in the Linux world is to use different names linked to
the same binary to get different functions. For instance, if sendmail runs
with the name mailq, it lists the mail queue. There's also the busybox used
in embedded Linux systems. It's a program that performs common shell ops
like ls, and all the common names are linked to the one binary. Saves space
when you don't have a lot of Flash to burn.)
