Well, it's a nitpick because I was too lazy to look at the code and
see if the source file that was in had any access to argv[0] -- what
was it, HTInit.c or something?
The only things I'm sorry for are anything I've done that can be
considered bloat, which I kind of feel the domain-level tweaking of
COOKIE_LOOSE_INVALID_DOMAINS and such could be. It's also something
that I didn't really do right -- I was too lazy to put in proper
wildcard matching, etc. I'm not sure if it's worth fixing since it
isn't really broke, and I haven't seen anybody complain. But I don't
even use it. Hopefully someone does and it's not solely bloat.
