I have tested on linux that a native code to setenv, but RI still gets
the original value if use System.getenv. While on windows, I fails to
find
the "setenvironmentstring". So Harmony behaves just like RI.
ok, I just tested myself on Windows and it seems that the RI ignores
environment variable changes, so I guess it's fine if we stick with what
we have in Harmony.

Would you really ever want that? Seems to be a safety issue.
