For example the command line client uses the same variable. If someone
already has the CLI installed and set up to use _svn, an install and
uninstall of TSVN would break it.

But why do you want this on uninstall. It sounds like you plan to keep
using TSVN.

Stefan, how about adding a checkbox to the settings dialog to make it
easier to create/delete the env variable? I know it would need a reboot
to take effect, but that is easier than trying to remember the name of
the variable that needs to be created manually.
