NOTE
None of the environment variables in the configuration file actually reside in the
current shell environment.
Most shell environment variables in Linux/Unix systems are stored in upper case.
If an application expects an environment variable that resides in a configuration
file to use the current case-setting, the application must retrieve the environment
variable from the configuration file and then set it to use the current shell
environment using putenv().
For instance, if the environment variable "myfile=some_path" is stored in a
configuration file, the application must perform a getEnvFile() for "myfile" to
retrieve its value and then set it in the current shell environment with
putenv("MYFILE=some_path") as the application expects the case to be set.
Until a putenv() is performed with case-sensitivity in mind, the variable does not
reside in the current shell environment.
