    Actually, the value of TERM is only for internal use and should never be
    passed on to subprocesses, so its presence in process-environment is
    not important.

That is true, in a sense.  However, at present the primitives to create
subprocesses just pass TERM along to the subprocess.  Thus, it is up to
the Lisp code to set it.

Should this work differently?  Should we do something in call-process
and start-process to set TERM?
