[PATCH 1/1] ntdll: Ignore some Unix variables when importing the environment.

[Alexandre Julliard]

From: Alexandre Julliard <julliard(a)winehq.org>

Either because they would confuse Windows apps, or make the Windows
environment grow too large.

I know this is unrelated to the issues in !9423 (it's not long), but perhaps we should also consider `TMPDIR`? I've recently seen Unity games attempting to use that, which must be some cross-platform code since that variable is not usually set on Windows. That's lead to issues in some games, since e.g. `/var/tmp` will get converted into `c:\var\tmp`, which will surely not exist in the prefix. For example, the Steam game "Content Warning" (yes, that's its name) ends up showing an error quite often because of this.

Good point, I can add that.
