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:
