This patch uses the windows widechar apis for os.environ. In this way, environment variables that use umlauts can be accessed.

Great work! :) I've been waiting for a fix. Do you have time to rework PC/getpathp.c and other code related to sys.path? It's still using the ASCII api which causes bugs like http://bugs.python.org/issue1342

Committed as rev 58916. The getpath.c, sys.path, and sys.argv issues is much more difficult to fix IMO. If you write a testcase for THIS issue (os.environ), I'll start thinking on them. No promises, though.
