   I need to know if it is possible to set environment variable in GNU emacs.  I
have set up some bindings to compile the file that I am editing but the compiler
needs to have some environment variables set before it can be run.  I notice that
GNU emacs does have an eLisp fuction "getenv" but no "setenv" or "putenv".  Has any
one run into this problem before, and what was the solution?
