Currently, TWiki has a hard coded setting for a safe CGI path which is Linux/Unix specific. Adding a SAFECGIPATH variable to wiki.pm would centeralize this setting and make it easy to change for different platforms.

Absolutely correct. Set to FeatureToDo.

For Windows folks, setting SAFECGIPATH to "" should cause the changing of the path to not happen - I'm not sure that it does any good. Windows has to have access to C:/Windows for not only executables, but also DLL's - and that's probably the directory one would MOST not want outsiders into!

Added $safeEnvPath to TWiki.cfg. Env var PATH gets set in case $safeEnvPath is not empty.

Commited to TWikiAlphaRelease.
