Oops, I meant "Solaris equivalent of unsetenv(3)", which apparently
does not exist. I believe that setenv(3) is the BSD equivalent of
putenv(3), which is SVID/POSIX according to my Linux man pages.
UnixOSProcessPlugin>>primitivePutEnv uses putenv(3), which seems to
be portable across BSD/POSIX/whatever. Evidently, unsetenv is a
BSD thing which may not exist on all systems, so I think the best
thing is to just take it out of the plugin to keep things simple.
