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.
