These are wrong:
; env - /afs/sipb/project/tcsh/tcsh
> printenv
SHLVL=1
PWD=/afs/athena.mit.edu/user/m/k/mkgray
LOGNAME=mkgray
USER=mkgray
HOST=quiche-lorraine
HOSTTYPE=^S\201^C
> env - /bin/csh
> printenv
SHLVL=1
PWD=/afs/athena.mit.edu/user/m/k/mkgray
LOGNAME=mkgray
USER=mkgray
HOST=quiche-lorraine
HOSTTYPE=i386-linux
arguably the latter is less wrong than the former, but many people try to just
use HOSTTYPE as a replacement for hosttype when they find hosttype not defined
they then lose when bindir is set to i386-linuxbin instead of linuxbin.
