If oldnames is turned off may we always define putenv as _putenv for 
mingw host ?

May be this impact more functions. I just remove -lmoldname from gcc 
(mingw) 3.4.5 specs file and link of an 2.2.6 wrapper script fail with 
undefined reference to `_setmode', `_stat', `_chmod', `_getcwd' and 
`_putenv'.

I guess that for MCVS and GCC(mingw) we may use "#define xxx _xxx" for 
all those functions.
