And looking at the 1.5.3 source (where the Guardian *does* start
Classic-as-app) I notice:

- The argument parser looks for -a and also for -c

- FBSERVER is set to fbserver.exe (default) or fb_inet_server.exe (if
  -c argument present).

Maybe it was simply forgotten to implement this in the FB2 branch as
well?
