I've started with something I thought would be trivial, but I early tripped over a pitfall where getenv is asked to look for "PATH", and it is expected to find "Path" when we only have the latter in the environment. Sigh. I think that's solvable.

Another worry is that the home-grown getenv is not thread-safe. I think it does not matter today, but who knows...

Anyway, I've at most an hour of quality git time during the week, so it will take some time...
