Thanks for doing that.  I had written something quite similar but you
beat me to it.  One minor change, which I just installed, is to tell
users that we're testing for compatibility for GNU as well as for
SVID.  (GNU is more important and better known these days than SVID.)

        * m4/putenv.m4 (gl_FUNC_PUTENV): Also mention that we're checking
        for compatibility with GNU.
