They may be defining setenv for the same reason NUT is - to add a
function that the OS left out - and so it isn't really part of the
package proper.

I will look at the autoconf stuff later to see if there is an easy way
to try and use netsnmp's setenv call (since it looks like the standard
one, from a quick glance at snmplib/system.c).

Peter Selinger did some work with 'make depend', so I will defer to him on that.
