Sorry, it is environment variable in MSVC6 containing the name of the actual 
input file. It's the same as you write in bash:

gengetopt -F${InputName}_debug ...


I also forgot to say not to suprise when you open the option file the original 
is preprocessed by CL.exe (MSVC, too) to insert the actual string constants 
into it. This preprocessing has a side effect, that the resulting file will 
contain bunch of empty lines. (You have to scroll down several hundred of lines 
to reach the valuable content.)
