"info libc" and search for setenv.

There's no need to look around on the web for info. The best part of Linux
is that you have everything at your fingertips.

Type "info autoconf", "info automake" and you can find some examples.

FYI, there's a tool for formatting DOS diskettes on Linux. It's rather small
and I've followed the GNU coding standards (except for indentation style).
You might want to see how autoconf and automake have been made use of.
