>Description:
	pw_edit(), now in libutil, only supports a simple EDITOR setting.
	This becomes a rather major problem if, say, you're running a
	huge ISP where the default EDITOR is 'pico -t'.
>How-To-Repeat:
	setenv EDITOR 'pico -t'
	chfn
>Fix:
	Parsing the entire thing into argv/argc and switching exec*()
	calls is the only thing I can think of.
