This bug is just for a documentation fix.

http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wineusr-guide/environment-variables says that
strings under the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Environment are used to modify certain
environment variables. With wine 0.9.58 this does nothing.

The correct location is documented at http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys
and is HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Session Manager/Environment

Also, unlike what the first part of
http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wineusr-guide/environment-variables says,
normal shell variables do not seem to appear in wine, i.e.,
$   export MYENVIRONMENTVAR=myenvironmentvarsetting
$ wine cmd
CMD Version 0.9.58

H:\>MYENVIRONMENTVAR
File not found
