Looks good excepting one moment. What happens if eqp == NULL here?

+	if ((eqp = strchr(ss, '=')) != NULL)
+		*eqp = '\0';
+	if (set)
+		(void) setenv(ss, eqp + 1, 1);
+	else
+		(void) unsetenv(ss);

IMHO it should be changed to

	if (set && eqp != NULL)

i.e. go to unsetenv() for values without "="
