I don't add anything to my environ package until (a) its been written 
because I needed it in some program I was working on and (b) I needed it 
in another unrelated program. Unless/until both conditions are met it 
remains a part of the original project-specific package.

I'd previously done the same in C: this library would be similarly small 
except that programs that use it are written to run on OS/9, DOS/Windows 
and Linux. The functions making up the standard C libraries are not the 
same. As a result the library exists in three versions, one for each OS, 
and each is augmented with functions that I need that are standard in one 
of the other OSen. At most this requirement has doubled the size of the 
environ library and, as you might expect, this part of its content is 
similarly static. Not having to write these compatibility functions is a 
big advantage of using a WORA language like Java.
