 I propose to add setEnv/unsetEnv to System.Environment, so that it is
 easier to write applications that behave the same on POSIX and Windows
 systems.

 Here is the
 [http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2012-October/018560.html
 corresponding thread] on the libraries mailing list.  The proposal was
 overall supported.

 A patch is attached.
