I have code for a database I am porting to Cygwin.
Part of that code is a clearenv() then a couple of setenvs. There is
an ifdef for Cygwin, as it doesn't implement clearenv.
It wouldn't be hard to implement clearenv() for a future release of
Cygwin, at least for a version that leaves environ pointing to a
1-element array containing NULL. A bit more effort and we could
probably also support glibc's notion of environ==NULL being shorthand
for an empty environment;
I've attempted to do this:
