/**
 * Processes the argc, argv pair as needed before passing it to getopt().  If
 * this program is running on Windows, but not within Cygwin, this ignores the
 * incoming argv, argv values, replacing them from the GetCommandLine()
 * string, and expanding glob patterns like *.egg to a list of all matching
 * egg files.  On other platforms, this function does nothing and returns
 * argc, argv unchanged.
 *
 * The argc and argv values are modified by this function, if necessary, to
 * point to statically-allocated memory that will be valid until the next call
 * to preprocess_argv().
