It's not so easy for me.  First, I had to steal sysexits.h from the 5.59
distribution, because the version on my system is 4.2 instead of 4.4, and
4.2 doesn't have EX_CONFIG defined.

Secondly, my system doesn't have unsetenv().  What should I do about
this?  I don't find it on any of my Vaxen (running Mt. Xinu, a derivative
of BSD4.3) or the Suns (running SunOS 3.5).

I note that these calls to unsetenv() materialized sometime after v5.54.
First, TZ is unset at the top of main() to "Enforce use of local time".
Second, HOSTALIASES is unset while parsing the arguments if running in
daemon mode (-bp) or queue mode (-q).

What should I do about this?  Write my own unsetenv() (it's not that
hard), or steal the code from elsewhere, or comment these out?

Thanks for any help.
