Subject: Look for and remove any "-NSKey" "value" types of options from argv just like
X-Git-Url: https://git.saurik.com/wxWidgets.git/commitdiff_plain/04453a9e1e53ff185f26b1979a2febe1df7c656a?ds=inline

Look for and remove any "-NSKey" "value" types of options from argv just like
the -psn_XXXX option is removed.  This allows Cocoa debug options like
-NSShowAllViews YES to be used as with any other Cocoa program.

+        our removal of them from the wx copy of it does not affect Cocoa's

+        We basically just assume that any "-NS" option and its following
+        argument needs to be removed from argv.  We hope that user code does
+        not expect to see -NS options and indeed it's probably a safe bet
+        since most user code accepting options is probably using the
+        double-dash GNU-style syntax.
