Description _ gordonp 2003-05-20 01:02:02 UTC 
The cpp UnixEnv is stored in a WeakReferenced table.
If putenv is used to update the env but the table
is garbage collected then the putenv'ed value would
be lost.

The env should either not be stored as a WeakReference
or we should change to a strong reference after a
putback (I don't know if thats possible).

Removed UnixEnv (a while ago) which gets rid of putenv. There are/were too
many environment APIs so I'm slowly consolidating where possible.
