Environment variables

I don't know what the core issue is but my own (personal) experience has been that LSEnvironment isn't reliable.

Requiring R_HOME to be set in the environment seems sketchy to me. At worst you should be able to set it through a system property, not rely on the environment. Is it open source? Maybe it could be fixed and contributed back.

The ugly workaround might be to drill down through JNI to call setenv, if it can be done early enough.
