putenv: fix heap corruption with mixed putenv/_putenv Problem reported by Michael Goffioul in <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2013-02/msg00061.html>. * lib/putenv.c (putenv) [HAVE__PUTENV]: Rely on _putenv to allocate the new environment. * m4/putenv.m4 (gl_PREREQ_PUTENV): New macro. * modules/putenv (configure.ac): Use it.
