For what it's worth, I still take issue with the way unsetenv is 
implemented.  It currently passes the entire argument list to 
unsetenv() which is inconsistent with the way the other commands handle 
excess arguments.

eg. :unsetenv foo bar 

will not unset foo, since it passes 'foo bar' to unsetenv(), which is 
unexpected given the way the other commands work, however

:msgwait 5 99 

sets message wait to 5 and ignores 99.

On the other hand, when Gergely has finished his new command parsing 
work, I imagine this point may be moot.

Personally, I _hate_ all welcome messages and feel there really _must_ 
be a way to disable them ;-)

Again, thanks Gergely !
