The msvc docs says that limit for the command line is 32,767

while ok for me, I think if not it would be better to check this limit?
Well, it's ARG_MAX in POSIX, and ARG_MAX is defined as 256K in Darwin,
512K in FreeBSD, 128K in Linux; _POSIX_ARG_MAX is defined as 4096 on all
three platforms. Windows may differ too. Anyways, allocating even 128K
in precious stack space is too much, that's why I suggest to use
psprintf(). As for checking any hard limit, I don't think it would have
much value - somehow we got the original command line, thus it is
supported by the system, so we can just pass it on.
