Not being a programmer and all, but I would be extremely surprised if CW
is the first project to run into these two problems. I am sure there
must be some inbuilt  methods (or even some settings/additional
attributes to getEnv) to correct this - rather than having to code
specifically to correct encoding and expand variables contained in
variables.

No?
