That was exactly the bit I was hoping you'd add so that other people  
can just compile out of the box :-) It's a trivial function in a  
platform c file (see sqMacEncoding.c for the most complicated  
version) that I expect you can implement as
char *getImageName(void) {
     return imageName;
}
but it allows a convenient place to do any required name massaging  
that the platform wants. I'd hazard a guess that you'd put it in  
sqWin32Utils.c for example.

All I can tell you there is that both appear to compile ok on OSX and  
the tablet plugin is ok on RISC OS (no b3d accel there).
