For NT, I have some that wraps the environment variables in the registry as
a dictionary (for both getting and setting). It also includes support for modifying
the PATH variable in the registry
 See:

It doesn't solve the "immediate availability" problem discussed elsewhere. Newly
set environment variables are available after a logoff/logon, though.
