+It's rather a glib or MSVCRT bug. The following C-code shows that
+Win32's SetEnvironmentVariable has no effect on getenv, which
+in turn is used by glib's g_getenv which in turn is used
+by Mono's Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable:
+
+/* compile with MS' "cl" */
+
+#include <stdlib.h>
+#include <windows.h>
+
+int main(void)
+{
+    SetEnvironmentVariable("HELLO", "world");
+
+    /* putenv works: */
+    /* putenv("HELLO=world"); */
+
+    printf("%s\n", getenv("HELLO"));
+}
