Ok I've explained my self wrong.
The reason I use a pointer to string[] instead of just storing it, is that I want
the plugins init calls, Gtk.init_check for example, is that I want Gtk to
remove arguments which Gtk familiar with.
Then, when other init () invoked, they remove the familiar args.
In the end, the user returns to the main, and if unrecognized arguments
had left, the main shows error "Unrecognized argument".

Now this all thing can be done only if I use a pointer which points it to the
args variable in the main function:
main (string[] args)

I splited up the length pointer and the argsv pointer since I don't know how
to manage this all thing in one pointer in Vala, but I do take it as an 
disadvantage if I must to.
