Re: [MiNT] booting and _mint_setenv

Well, yes, if we don't really need it then it would be ok. Actually when 
running mint from the AUTO folder then it should not harm anyway.

BTW: Do you think releasing it would not crash? I think it actually 
points somewhere to the commandline space which is IIRC shared in 
SingleTOS (I use TOS 4.04). So I would better just set it to NULL and 
let the _mint_setenv() do its work.
