You've just raised my favorite wish list item, which I drag out periodically to general jeers and hoots from the audience! :-) The main problem is getting access to the environment from the namei() code. getenv/putenv all manipulate a malloc'd region in the process context and there's not even a handle on it that's easy to get to from the system.
