Could you resend against the current source base?  Thanks!

Nope, this is b20 material.

Let's go for it.  I have mixed feelings about it but people on the
list did seem to prefer the single environment variable so let's do
that.

FYI, I'm getting compile errors with the winsup.h in the last snapshot.
It looks like some dependencies aren't correct because I rebuilt
fine with the change but when I rebuilt from scratch I had problems.
I'll fix this as soon as our new CVS server comes on line (the old
one was having disk controller problems which was causing us no end
of grief).
