As far as db-lib is concerned, a call to DBSETLCHARSET() is the last
word on the matter.  Anything else is a bug.  

Programatic settings should always win over environmental ones.  If the
application wants to let the user affect something through environment
variables, that's fully within its power to accomplish.
