Without confirming that the name length exactly matches too, then
the string comparison would return the same value for VAR* as for
VAR, when VAR came first in the environ array.

Slightly more efficient:

+        if (memcmp(name, *envp, len) == 0 && !name[len])

(strncmp is not needed since we know there's no NULL between *envp and
*envp+len, and after memcmp we know the same about the first len
characters of name).
