64 bit Linux rocks, when it comes to commandline arguments....

Running one of the usual autotools generated configure scripts, I came across this:

checking the maximum length of command line arguments... 1572864

So I can actually support one million five hundred seventy two thousand eight hundred and sixty four command-line arguments on my 64 bit Linux. That rocks!

Hmm... I should definitely try to pass the Gutenberg project as a command-line argument to echo now.
