Sorry; I take it back.  The MSVC doc has the same comment, buried
in the same remark about =X current directory info.  Not where it
belongs, of course.

Note that cygwin mishandles those too.  It turns =X=foo
into !X=foo, so they don't confuse getenv, but doesn't turn them back
when passing them to CreateProcess.
