Runtime.exec with envp parameter . . .

[Tim Panton - Westhawk Ltd]

We worked around this by 
constructing an exec call that 
did the following (from memory):
String [] args[]={"/bin/sh","-c",
	"DISPLAY=blah:0.0 myprog -x"};
	r.exec(args);

this just adds the DISPLAY variable
to the program's env.

The trick is to avoid exec(String)
and use the array varient, since
this lets you control the argument
seperation.
