Log Message:
SF patch #460805 by Chris Gonnerman: Support for unsetenv()

This adds unsetenv to posix, and uses it in the __delitem__ method of
os.environ.

(XXX Should we change the preferred name for putenv to setenv, for
consistency?)

*** 47,58 ****
  - binascii has now two quopri support functions, a2b_qp and b2a_qp.
  
! - readline now supports setting the startup_hook and the pre_event_hook.
  
! - os and posix supports chroot() and setgroups() where available.  The
!   stat(), fstat(), statvfs() and fstatvfs() functions now return
!   "pseudo-sequences" -- the various fields can now be accessed as
!   attributes (e.g. os.stat("/").st_mtime) but for backwards
!   compatibility they also behave as a fixed-length sequence.  Some
!   platform-specific fields (e.g. st_rdev) are only accessible as
    attributes.
