The use of allexport in my previous submission was considered "too
clever," and the source of possible user confusion. Rather than fight that
battle, here is a version with explicit exporting of variables, and a
helpful message at the top that attempts to explain why exporting is
important. The following one line would still need to be added to root's
dot.profile, however the line numbering in the patch below will be off.

All opinions to the contrary aside, I welcome additional comments
or suggestions.
