[Ecls-list] Minor change

[Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll]

 - MACHINE-TYPE, MACHINE-INSTANCE, SOFTWARE-VERSION and similar functions are
   now compliant and output NIL when they cannot guess the right information.
   In particular MACHINE-INSTANCE returns the host name if the environment
   variable HOSTNAME is set (in Unix) and COMPUTERNAME if set (in Windows).

In a not so distant future, MACHINE-INSTANCE will use POSIX's
gethostname(). In the mean time, the current function will work in
most Unices, except for OS X, where it will return NIL because the
operating system does not export the environment variable HOSTNAME.
