Note that just building the ports with these changes will not demonstrate
much.  This change alters the functionality of putenv() rather than the
API/ABI so testing the change requires exercising the ports.  This is
a much more difficult task.

Then someone needs to fix the "HISTORY" section of getenv(3).  I've
looked thru the TUHS and CSRG files and it didn't exist in V7 or any
of the early BSDs.  I'm not sure when it really did appear.  getenv(3)
in 4.3reno doesn't claim compliance to any standard for putenv().
