Well the Main module probably imports System.Environment anyway, but
I guess this is harmless, and presumably this will be used by some
WinHugs thing.

The usual way to parse arguments to Hugs commands is readFilename(),
which also allows backslashed quotes.  Using this would aid consistency,
but you'll need to work around the fact that it returns a string in
static storage.
