The current intended usage is that __environ is used in ISO C
functions and startup code that must not reference the name environ
(since it's in the namespace reserved for the application), and POSIX
and extension functions use environ. There's no reason the latter
_need_ to use environ though; it was just more convenient and less
implementation-specific. If you think there's a good reason to change
it after reading this, let's discuss it.
