When this was discussed before on this list, most people seemed to
like the broken _spawnve() bahaviour as the default because most
people didn't have /bin/sh, which is why the correct behaviour can
only be triggered with UNIXMODE-"s".  Perhaps it's time to change
that?

I think the real problem here is missing documentation.  Everyone who
has a /bin/sh should set UNIXMODE-"s" in his mint.cnf.

Code #ifdef'd __MINT__ will be used when compiling/linking with the
MiNT library, as this library defines this symbol whenever including
any system header file.  I think this is the best symbol to use.

I've never seen __mint and MINT; I think they're non-standard.
