I'm all for having environment variables accessible through the kernel (/proc/<pid>/env, anyone?), but the main reason *I* haven't done so so far is that there *is* code out there that knows how to manipulate the environmnent variables, and assumes things about the global variable -- or even that there is one ;). If terry wants to implement it and try it out for a while, I'll be glad to help him, but I wouldn't want it in the mainline of code until, say, all of ports has been built to use it. (Wow... code [of a sort] from terry. Will wonders never cease? 8-)) Sean.
