in windows you can access the environ variable the same way as you would
on unices, just that it's named _environ.

you just need to #define environ _environ and you've got the same name
on both windows and unices.and I believe that you can do the same on other systems too you could make a deep copy of this variable (let's name this copy newenviron), append the new entries that you require(or modify existing ones) and pass newenviron to apr_proc_create. this way you don't have to modify the parent's variables and reset them. en entry in environ is a NUL terminated string of the form ENV_VARIABLE=ENV_VALUE and the last entry must be a NULL one.
