[issue1668] -E command line parameter intent

[Joseph Armbruster]

New submission from Joseph Armbruster:

url: http://svn.python.org/projects/python/branches/py3k
rev: 59577

The intent of the -E command line parameter is not entirely clear from
it's description.  If it implies that All environment variables will be
ignored then this is not currently the case.  If it implies that a few
select environment variables will be ignored, then this is partially the
case.

See the attached patch for the potentially odd cases.
