Greetings
I have a question about the best practice to make my application
compatible with TeXLive.
I want to combine my bib* scipts (bibdoiadd, bibmradd, bibzbladd) into
a single bibadd binary. I want to be able to call it as bibdoiadd,
bibmradd, bibzbladd, with different functionality.
I know how to do this under Unix: I add to Makefile
ln -s bibadd bibdoiadd
etc
and in the program itself I check $0 to get the name the program was
called.
How to do this in compatible way so it works under Windows?

-- I mean negative capability, that is, when a man is capable of being
in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching
after fact and reason.
