bugfix: avoid naive use of 'putenv' by providing 'FbTk::App::setenv()'
to quote from 'man putenv': The string pointed to by string becomes part of the environment, so altering the string changes the environment. so, using putenv like { std::string foo("FOO=bar"); putenv(foo.c_str()); } is wrong and leads to a potentially corrupted environment. valgrind complaint correctly. FbTk::App seems to be the appropriate place to hold '::seten()' because it alters the environment of the application.
