What I do is write the output from 'set' on windows to a ruby string 
like this:

environment = `call setEnvironment.bat;set`

setEnvironment.bat is just a bunch of environment sets

i.e.: SET LINK_PLATFORM=windows_32

The environment variables that were giving me trouble come from the 
system
Ones like:
ALLUSERSPROFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users

So I get the sense that spaces are the issue, I believe that quoting 
variables with spaces would probably solve the issue but I haven't tried 
it yet.
