I'd say that if some apps in CVS are really using this for something
reasonable/common, we should do the first thing (provide accessors).
If however no one is using it or the uses of it are
obscure/weird/crack-ridden, we should just delete the whole deal as
Glynn suggests.

g_get_prgname() seems like it's probably appropriate for most uses.
