OK, I need to be clear.  I have nothing against the enviroment variable
idea.  I was making (a little) joke.

If you'd like to see this happen, I'd suggest offering it as a patch
to 'setup.exe'.  Since I'm not the gatekeeper for 'setup.exe' code,
whether or not I'm convinced it's a good idea isn't necessarily
going to help or hurt your cause.  The patch is likely to be the path of
least (though not necessarily 'no') resistence.

Both are offered in 1.7.
