unfortunately this reinterprets some magic in the _envsetup.

after some discussion, and unhappiness with all possible solutions,
the least bad one seemed to be to rebuild environ.  this is way too
much code for the task, but posix shuts off easy escape routes.  note
this is completely unthreadsafe.  as per posix.

(it turns out that at least bsd does similar.)
