Description of problem:
Our users have a pretty scary PATH variable and they have a script named 
runasrelease that does:
sudo -u release bash -c "$*"

Since upgrading to fedora10+, the PATH variable is cleared and set to
whatever was builtin with --secure-path. This breaks our expected usage
of sudo as it removes PATH which we want set.

Adding:
!env_reset

or env_reset
env_keep = "HOME PATH"

does not work.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sudo-1.6.9p17-6

How reproducible:
PATH=$PATH:/tmp/pathtest
sudo -u anyotheruser bash -c 'echo $PATH'

Steps to Reproduce:
[email protected]: ~ $ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/java/bin:/home/release:/home/release/scripts:/opt/mysql/5.1.30/bin:/home/jschroeder/bin
[email protected]: ~ $ sudo -u release bash -c 'echo $PATH'
[sudo] password for jschroeder: 
/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin

Actual results:
PATH is cleared due to the --secure-path option

Expected results:
There should be a way for PATH to not be cleared. !env_reset or adding PATH to 
env_keep should work. This is fixed in 1.7.0 according to upstream.
