 It shouldn't be make, when I built a small testapp that just printed out its 
argv[], everything looked ok to me. To me it looks like the limit is there 
either when converting args between cygwin and pure-MS apps (or whatever it 
is that happens at that point), or in MSVC.

 Still, not much we can do about it, I think.
