SERVER_NAME in httpd.c (busybox-1.13.3)

[Cathey, Jim]

In the usual Bourne-y shell, 'env' is not required.
	$ FOO=bar baz
runs baz with FOO var equal to bar.  We used to do
this to get the time at various remote sites:
	$ TZ=EST date
Env _is_ useful for something like:
	$ env - FOO=bar baz
where all environment variables _except_ FOO
are eliminated.
