[Patch]: Improving the anonymous ftp environment.

["Pierre A. Humblet" <pierre at phumblet dot no-ip dot org>]

The background of this patch is that in order to test the chdir
patch under chroot condition I setup an anonymous ftp account.

I realized that to be able to ls (under anonymous) I had to
copy /bin/ls.exe to /home/ftp/bin, but also the cygwin1.dll and
all other dll's used by ls.exe. That flies in the face of our
recommendation to have only one cygwin1.dll, and it's a pain to
maintain (Sure, we could add smarts to setup).

So it was obvious that the Windows PATH did not contain 
c:\cygwin\bin  (for the uninitiated, the Windows and the Cygwin
environments are not identical).

Looking into it, the Cygwin PATH seen by ls had its standard
pre-chroot value, but the Windows PATH was NULL. The conversion
from Posix paths to Win32 paths fails because some paths are 
outside of the chroot area.

The solution uses the fact that the Posix and Win32 values of PATH
are cached into a win_env structure. It initializes that structure
before changing the root, so that there is no conversion issue. 
Also the NO_COPY attribute of the cache is removed, so that it 
propagates across forks (also avoiding a small memory leak, as it 
points to malloced areas).

There are other solutions, but I couldn't think of anything
simpler.

	* syscalls.cc: Include environ.h.
	(chroot): Set errno in case of path error. Call getwinenv.
	* environ.cc: Remove the NO_COPY attribute of conv_envvars.
