Synopsis: EXECUTION_ENVIRONMENT.put under .NET

Description
I don't understand the implementation of EXECUTION_ENVIRONMENT.put under .NET. Even if this functionality is not available in class ENVIRONMENT, why don't you use an external C call to 'putenv' like in Eiffel classic? What is weird is that if I set an environment variable with an external C call to 'putenv', EXECUTION_ENVIRONMENT.get will return the old value previously set by EXECUTION_ENVIRONMENT.put. We would be better off if both `get' and `put' were using an external C call to 'getenv' and 'putenv' like in Eiffel classic.

This is now fixed for the 6.5 release of EiffelStudio (see rev#79776).
