There is also 'setenv' in that module but I find 'environment' more convenient. (Also, 'setenv' is evil because it has a bool parameter. ;))

Win7, dmd 2.061: environment seems to be read only.

string path = environment["PATH"];
// OK

environment("PATH"] = pathSeparator ~ path ~ pathToMyDir ;
// failed, unidentified identifier

setenv("PATH", pathSeparator ~ path  ~ pathToMyDir, true);
// failed, undefined identifier

Do you know a way to set it via system/shell calls, notably under windows?
