checking whether program_invocation_name is declared... no
checking whether program_invocation_short_name is declared... no
Searched myself and found this fine summary from 2010 by Bruno Haible:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2010-12/msg00249.html
That implies that (at least in 2010), one would have to invoke the
get_program_canonicalized_name function on mingw.
