No, I can't. I start ruby.exe from a little FreePascal program,
which does have getenv(), but no such thing as setenv().

Using an intermediate .bat file isn't an option, because I
don't want a stupid DOS-box when using rubyw.exe instead of
ruby.exe.

Mmhh... I might use an intermediate Ruby script to unset the
environment variable... Not pretty, but it might work....
