initoptions(), including initoptions_finish(), was running to completion with the default window system before windowtype from the command was parsed and activated. When the default window system is tty without MS-DOS the map type gets set to ascii; command line --windowtype:X11 doesn't switch it back to the X11 default of tiled. So, | NETHACKOPTIONS=windowtype:X11 nethack ran nethack in tiles mode but | nethack --windowtype:X11 ran it in text mode (assuming .nethackrc left tiles vs text with the default setting). I think this fix is quite iffy but it seems to work as intended.... It reclassifies '--windowtype' as an "early option" in unixmain.c, and the options.c code ultimately processes it twice.
