Right, I wasn't verbose enough. More tests show that this fails because of
two different reasons that I need to address:

1. svn_io_run_cmd() doesn't find editors I have in my path, I must specify
   the editor with full path, which breaks the "normal" $EDITOR behavior.

2. svn_io_run_cmd() doesn't seem to pass on the environment to the child
   process in the same style system() does, which makes emacs fail to start
   with this error message: "Please set the environment variable TERM; see
   tset(1).". It makes no difference if I set TERM to vt100 or xterm before
   invoking 'svn ci', and not even 'emacs -nw' works as it says the same.
   (setting EDITOR to "/bin/vi" works though, it doesn't seem as picky).

Problem 1 could possibly be fixed by scanning the path for the command first
(do we have a way of doing that already?), but I don't know how problem 2 is
best addressed.
