I posted something a while back about adding a method or class to access environment vars. Henri suggested that I take a look at Ant's solution to this.
Ant's env var access is obtained through their <execute> task. This class has a lot of logic to handle different OS's, and I think that a refactored version may be a worthwhile addition to lang.
I had my own small class to do this, but I would image that Ant's version has been more thoroughly tested and bulletproofed.
Here's the link to Ant's Execute class. http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/ant/src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/Execute.java?rev=1.70&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
Any thoughts? I think this would be very useful -- just about every project that I've worked on has had to access env vars at some point or another. And providing a nice simple way to execute system commands and grab the output would be cool.
