[Unix again, don't know about Win32/MacOS/...]

Creating a "faked" environment doesn't sound right. The svn process
will inherit its environment from whatever invoked it, and the editor
in turn will inherit from svn. Are you saying this doesn't work? Do
you have TERM set and exported in the environment you are using to
invoke svn?
