Are you sure all systems actually have putenv()? I know I had problems
with the one or the other in old SunOS (Solaris). Usually there should
be an autoconf check for it.

OTOH, I haven't checked whether mutt already uses putenv() in other
places without alternatives, and whether these "old" systems are
considered dying. ;-)
