I just posted a similar patch (sorry, I didn't see your post until
afterwards). I guess that we both have the same ideas :)

I think that mvec_name can be disposed of all together as
its only used by the line above and setup_mvec(), which in
turn is only used by early_param. I got rid of mvec_name in
my incantation of this patch, and it seemed to work quite well.

Do you need to copy and truncate mvstr on ' ' in the case
that machvec= isn't the last argument on the command line?
I did this in my patch, though I didn't test to see if
it was uneccessary.
