I'm not sure the VSIPL++ library is the best place to do this. If users
want to pass extra arguments by default, why can't they just write a little
wrapper script themselves ? (We may even provide a generic wrapper to do
this, if there is a common use case for it.)
My point is that (shell) scripts are much better suited to do this kind of
command-line argument / environment meddling than C++ code. We could even
make it work more easily for windows that way. :-)
