no, there's no need to rebuild the dll. since spawnlpe just pass
environment "as is", it's caller job to set it up. normally, you only
need to pass 'PATH', 'SHELL', 'USER', 'HOME' variables, but as it
turned out, to get winsock working, you need to pass 'SYSTEMROOT' too.

i've just scanned system32/ directory. MSWSOCK.DLL contains
'%SystemRoot%\system32\msafd.dll' string. i think that's the reason.
btw, many other dlls use %SystemRoot%, and, supposedly may break in
some subtle ways if it's empty.
