(gud-debugger-startup): Replaced with gud-massage-args. (gud-{gdb,sdb,xdb}-debugger-startup): Replaced with gud-*-massage-args. (gdb, sdb, xdb): Argument is command line, not args for it. Remove debugger name from prompt and put it in the default input instead. Overload gud-massage-args instead of gud-debugger-startup. (gud-chop-words): New function; subr for gud-common-init. (gud-common-init): Argument is command line, not args for it. Rewritten to use gud-chop-words instead of temp buffer and kludge involving read. Find the program name as the first word of the command line. Use make-comint and gud-massage-args in place of gud-debugger-startup. Expand the file name before passing it to gud-massage-args.

;;; Commentary:

;; UNIX processes inherit a list of name-to-string associations from
;; their parents called their `environment'; these are commonly used
;; to control program options.  This package permits you to set
;; environment variables to be passed to any sub-process run under Emacs.

;;; Code:

;;;###autoload
(defun setenv (variable &optional value)
  "Set the value of the environment variable named VARIABLE to VALUE.
VARIABLE should be a string.  VALUE is optional; if not provided or is
`nil', the environment variable VARIABLE will be removed.  
This function works by modifying `process-environment'."
  (interactive "sSet environment variable: \nsSet %s to value: ")
  (if (string-match "=" variable)
      (error "Environment variable name `%s' contains `='" variable)
    (let ((pattern (concat "\\`" (regexp-quote (concat variable "="))))
	  (case-fold-search nil)
	  (scan process-environment))
      (while scan
	(cond
	 ((string-match pattern (car scan))
          (if (eq nil value)
