It seems appropriate that if you have a UNIX port based on SVR3, that at
least one of the environments available to the user is SVID compliant.
I do not believe that this this disallows having other 'known'
environments available.
Application writers need to have a finite set of environments
to address their work to, else so many things will only run on very
specific environments (like now).
Several vendors are providing this multi-environment solution already.
