I don't deny it is common practice on Linux, but defining a bunch of environment 
variables and then running the app, i.e. using the ev's as command line 
switches, seems pointless. Just use command line switches.

Anyhow, environment variables are a common source of problems on Windows, which 
is why dmd, for example, uses dmd.conf instead.
