My proposal is platform independent (i.e. it will work also under Win32, OS/2, etc., without any changes). Your proposal probably requires starting the compiled binary using platform specific API functions to run it with a modified environment rather than using ExecuteProcess which results in passing the standard parent's environment (changing the current's process environment may not be supported on all platforms).
