It would help when DefaultSystemCodePage is changed to UTF-8, as Lazarus does.

That is incorrect, since as he wrote the unicodestring version of  
GetEnvironmentVariable() already exists in our RTL today. It's just  
that it's only used if you pass it a unicodestring argument, which  
won't be be the case in most Lazarus programs by default.
