Strangely enough in 1.5 it is undeprecated again (and seems to work to get
the PATH environment variable), see

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#getenv(java.lang.String)
  versus
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#getenv(java.lang.String)

Yet another reason to switch to 1.5 :-)
