I can confirm that the url does NOT get added to sys.argv when using
argv_emulation :(

I had a look at argv_emulation.py and it seems to have most of this
stuff already. It handles OpenApplication and OpenDocuments Apple
Events. Guess the 'proper' thing to do would be to extend
argv_emulation.py to handle the IsGetURL event as described above.
I will give it a go and post the results.
Cheers, Brendan.
