[9fans] env size limit

[roger peppe]

the environment variable size limit is set to 16300 bytes which
seems rather small; for instance it can break mkfiles for large projects.

might a patch specifying a larger size limit (e.g. 128K) be accepted?

[erik quanstrom]

you need a single variable that's bigger than 16300 bytes?

- erik

[roger peppe]

yes.

for instance when there are a few thousand source files
and one wants to link them all.

ROFL.

PS Hmm, you are joking, right? I'm never entirely sure in these international discussions without signifiers like :-)
