I think it's ok to do it.  IIUC, the command-line length limit only
applies to the exec() system call, when it has to set up argc, argv
and envvars for the new process in a static memory region.

So, we could run a first pass over command-line arguments looking for
-lt-input-file filename and expanding them.  Bonus points if you can
fold this pass into the current argument-list handling loops :-)
