Yes, they are still unresolved. The question is: What do you do if the C
library does *not* have setenv() and unsetenv()? Answer -- borrow from
perl 5. (This is not trivial. The relevant code is mostly in perl.c and
util.c, along with various Configure tests. There are additional
vms-specific implementations in vms/vms.c. It's been a long time since I
looked at any of it. I just remember it being complicated.)
