Actually, I think Win32Lib transparently handles the conversion of 
strings to pointers before making the call...  The fact of the matter is 
that setting an environment variable within a program is a bit more 
complicated that simply calling SetEnvironmentVariable.

from PSDK:
"Programs started by the command processor inherit the command 
processor's environment variables."

"By default, a child process inherits the environment variables of its 
parent process. However, you can specify a different environment for the 
child process by creating a new environment block and passing a pointer 
to it as a parameter to the CreateProcess function."
