What about configure programs, though? They tend to accept lots of
command line arguments, and it's hard to get more "Unix-centered" than
that these days. Moreover, the config.status file nicely summarises
what you presented to configure - much more convenient than
environment variables, surely, because you get to remember how you
built the package in question.
