	an environment variable across fork(). This does a couple of things. One is, move the fork/vfork and execl* functions out of the standard wrapper environment. Having done that, the execl() wrappers are rewritten so they can use real_execv() when running in antimagic mode. This allows us to run pseudo entirely in antimagic mode. Which is handy, because we also add support for enabling/disabling antimagic mode in the child process on a fork, using an additional hook for this in the pseudo_client_init() routine. The redone fork() wrapper now calls pseudo_client_init() in the child process after a successful fork even if it's in antimagic mode already. This is not yet well-tested.

	one. There's a long story here, but to abbreviate it: The shell script was annoying at best to maintain and starting to show signs of not really being the right tool for the job. For various reasons, we have some other Python stuff in our build system, so we picked Python as the language we were already using for other stuff. We think this works with anything reasonably recent (around Python 2.4 through 2.6). There's a little bit of cleanup, also, of the wrapper templates.
