 Only for Gentoo, AFAIK, but it won't harm elsewhere (most programs don't
 care about `argv[0]`).

 If you run a script via the shell (manually or with system()), `argv[0]`
 is set to the interpreter (normally to the exact path following the #!,
 although in the case of the "`#!/usr/bin/env python`" trick, `argv[0]`
 will be just "python").

 So the updated version simulates "normal" execution.
