Find attached a proposed implementation for all platforms. For your review.

Thanks, that all looks good to me.

Nikos, I was demurring because I don't know MS-Windows, e.g., I don't know the distinction between runas and runas /env and I was concerned that simply using getenv would introduce security problems. Bruno's patch contains a comment containing the sort of explanation I was looking for.
