Thanks. I have an idea to improve this. We should detect whether you've written your own ccallable |

Use at-main mechanism in juliac executables. Also add support for command line arguments.
I changed `Core.ARGS` from a `Vector{Any}` to a `Vector{String}`. I
don't know why we didn't do that years ago. Surely this is ok?

juliac clearly should use the at-main mechanism for executables. That also allows us to call julia_init from C main instead of using
__attribute__((constructor)). I also added support for passing in the command line arguments (kind of useful!)I changed
Core.ARGSfrom aVector{Any}to aVector{String}. I don't know why we didn't do that years ago. Surely this is ok?The biggest problem is looking up juliamainfrom C main. For now I put in a hack to keep the binding around, but it's not very satisfying. Maybe we should insert accallablewith some known name likejuliac_exe_main? Any other ideas on how to handle this? Edit: done.
