The mentioned routine is the tstringlist to array of pchar conversion, and
afaik also applies to the separated part.

Since NIL is a termination of an array of pchar in C that is not ok.

behaviour of strnew should be checked in both TP and Delphi (since both have
strnew) and if necessary changed. (returning FPC_EMPTYCHAR or whatever)

If it can't be changed, it must be worked around in process.inc.


That being said, it is a very good idea for fpcup maintainers to cleanup
legacy as much as possible, and work towards representing a commandline as
an array of string, and not a single string.
