The only environment variable CWSDPMI beta 5 and earlier look at is:
 GO32TMP, or TEMP, or TMP to decide where to put the paging file
This functionality will be changed when I get around to it to use a 
different method.  This is left over from GO32 and I haven't had a chance
to handle configurable things yet.

The only environment variable which needs to be set in V2 is DJGPP (which
points to the DJGPP.ENV file).  Nothing in V2 pays attention to the GO32
environment variable.  All of that functionality has been moved to the
various subsystems.  In V2, you use mshell or redir commands for redirection;
ansi is automatically detected, emu location is in djgpp.env, etc.

V2 is much more modular - each piece can be tested in a standalone manner,
or can be swapped with other parts.
