As with all of the other issues being encountered here, the answer is
to use Microsoft's defined api's for this sort of thing. In this
instance, check out the implementation here:

http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#nN9nbq-2CGs/glib-2.9.0/glib/gutils.c&q=g_getenv%20const%20gchar%20variable&exact_package=http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glib/2.9/glib-2.9.0.tar.bz2&l=1018

We should probably quit hijacking the bt-devel list for this and have
a proper discussion at some later date on sword-devel.
