Changes

  1. comment changed to:
    MinGW parses the Windows command line different than MS or MinGW-w64 does, See
    [http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/info/f0cb3345b4040a71ce3b062f118c357363e820e2].
    <p>
    The setargv workaround, is taken over from Tcl 8.6 (win/tclAppInit.c). It was already part of the initial import in CVS in 1998, so it is impossible to know who wrote the original setargv()
    function. But I (jan nijtmans) adapted it to be useful as unicode
    command line parser as well. MinGW doesn't support unicode command
    line parsing (unline VS and MinGW-w64), so the setargv() function
    is the only known workaround to get it done.
