In creating ink_popen I was trying to replicate much of the functionality
of popen.  Since popen forks the parent, the parents environment will be
available to the child process.  For this use-case, passing a NULL
environment might be ok, but then again it's possible the pass phrase
program/script needs something from the environment.   Other use-cases
might need the environment passed to it so I don't see the harm in it.

It does seem like I should change the code as below to cover all
non-darwin cases:
+#if defined(darwin)
+  env = *_NSGetEnviron();
+#else
+  env = environ;
+#endif
+
