Will cook a bit longer.

This being ready for master is waiting on Johannes Sixt's patches to
supply a fallback getenv() on Win32.

Johannes, what's the status of that, and is there anything I can do to
help with that?

I've started with something I thought would be trivial, but I early
tripped over a pitfall where getenv is asked to look for "PATH", and it is
expected to find "Path" when we only have the latter in the environment.
Sigh. I think that's solvable.

Another worry is that the home-grown getenv is not thread-safe. I think it
does not matter today, but who knows...

Anyway, I've at most an hour of quality git time during the week, so it
will take some time...
