When I searched for the Environment support in MMC, I came across 
Terry's earlier patches, but they were not cleanly getting applied to 
the current tree.  There is no value add here except fixing the patch 
errors and generating a new patch for the current tree.  So there is no 
question of adding any copyright here.  Terry has indicated an update to 
his patch already.  I will be resubmitting my other patches with 
reference to Terry's latest patch.
