Subject: The "GNUish-DOS method of passing arguments ... "

Standard caveat: "I read the FAQ; it's not there..."

The README file for version 1.09 says:

  Also supported is the GNUish-DOS method of passing arguments in
  environment variables.

What is this?  Does this mean there is some env var that I can set
before running GCC, and it be picked up an add to the command line?
How?

Some questions relating to "legal stuff":
	1) I assume that if I create A.OUT files with gcc (not C++),
	   I am free to distribute them (at no charge) to my heart's
	   content, with no further restriction.  Correct?
	2) In fact, since I am not distributing GO32 (or even STUB), I
	   am also free to charge for them, right?  (Tell the user to
	   find his own GO32...)
	3) It sounds like if you use C++, then you are almost certainly
	   going to be using FSF written code.  This means that you have to
	   distribute full sources with every tiny thing you release.
	   Is this correct?

	   (By the way, I support the FSF idea; but distributing full
	   sources with each tiny little thing you write ends up being
	   more of a nuisance than anything else...)
