Hi,

that patch is not suitable for inclusion as that would break support for
other platforms.

I've committed this instead:

commit 13abb05aeeab5e56f73cf83352d0b83df6597faa
Author: Balazs Scheidler <bazsi at balabit.hu>
Date:   Mon Oct 31 17:06:14 2011 +0100

    detect if "environ" variable is present
    
    MacOSX doesn't have an "environ" global, compile the setproctitle code
    conditionally. We could use _NSGetEnviron(), but the whole point of
    setting the proctitle is not that important, and I'm not completely sure
    that it actually works.
    
    Changing the process title involves a lot of possibly unportable magic.
