Subject: Store argv0 and application name in the Application class
X-Git-Url: http://git.tdb.fi/?p=libs%2Fcore.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=231482c618cb2b30e1f7194d8d1d3ea30bc94512

Store argv0 and application name in the Application class

It can get quite annoying having to pass them around to be fed to the
standard path retrieval functions.
