Hmm, we overwrite setenv on platforms where it's not available, so all KDE 
applications can simply use setenv/getenv. And I think your local8Bit() calls
are wrong at times. Sometimes the environment variables are defined in their 
encoding. 

The only part that I consider worth a wrapper is the PATH splitting part, but 
that should only be done in KStandardDirs an apps use that. Qdvi doesn't use 
KDE libraries, so it has different problems than KDE apps.

Greetings, Stephan
