Matthew Flatt 3d1b0bd381 new environment-variable API
The `current-environment-variables' parameter determines the current
mutable "environment variable set". If that set is the initial one for
a Racket process, then using the set corresponds to working with OS
environment variables.  Otherwise, it's really just a hash table that
is packaged up as OS environment variables if a subprocess is created.

The new environment-variable interface works in terms of bytes, instead
of assuming that environment variable names and values fit in a string
encoding.

The string-based `getenv' and `putenv' are still available as
convenience wrappers. The checking on environment-variable names
for those wrappers is a little tighter, preventing any attempt to use a
name that contains "=".

The Racket Programming Language
===============================

Instructions for building Racket from source are in src/README.

The main executables in this package:

* DrRacket: Racket's integrated development environment (start here!).

* racket: command-line tool for running Racket programs.

* raco: command-line tool for compilation, documentation, and more.


More Information
----------------

For Racket documentation, use DrRacket's `Help' menu, run the `Racket
Documentation' application (Windows or Mac OS X), or run `raco docs'
from a command line.
