The getenv() call will always return an empty string when executed from a
DLL. This is, i believe, since a DLL has no PSP (or environment).

But, how can I get the values of environment variables from withing a DLL ?

Scanning through memory is not a very nice way of doing it (taking the list
of lists and scanning), especially if it is supposed to be portable between
modes. Any ideas anyone ?
