Yes, I mentioned this in a long message that I wrote last night.
Foundation functions aren't accessible to the command-line lisp,
I don't know of any way to get the localized name from
the BSD/POSIX layer.

(And unfortunately, part of the trick that allows (REQUIRE "COCOA")
to morph a command-line tool into a windowed application depends
on not linking against Foundation - not loading the library unless/until
a fake CFBundle path is set up.)
