The scripter is very hacky: welcome to you, tester! :-)

You can run gbs2 by hand on your script with the "-v" option to get a bit more 
information on what is done. "gbs2 --help" to get all the options.

Yes, this is a problem I don't know how to solve yet. Maybe by making 
Application.Args writable, and changing Application.Args[0] at script startup. 
Alas I can only do that in Gambas 3.
