Ok.  But I don't think you can do what you want to anyway.  The putenv function
only modifies the environment of the current process not the parent.  Also,
you're using LoadLibrary which in the documentation is said not to be used; but
to use dlopen, etc. instead.  I'm not experienced enough at this to help beyond
these pointers.
