Very nice, Neil.  Check it in please!

Typo: the man page patch has a reference to PYTHOHHOME...

Okay, here's an updated patch the adds a -E option which
suppresses all PYTHON* environment variables.  Suggestions
for improvements welcome.

-E only suppress PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH.  Are you sure
about suppressing them all?  There are quite a few (around
8).  PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH seem to be the only ones
that cause real trouble.

Cool, Neil!

Nits: 

- The Makefile uses "-Ec" somewhere; I recommend to use "-E
-c" instead.

- Does -E suppress PYTHONSTARTUP or doesn't it?  The
comments are inconsistent with the help message.  I think it
should suppress *all* use of Python-specific environment
variables.
