No, it actually bears some thought now. I face similar Linux
braindamage
issues at work. We could always assume in the past that a Linux user was
free to change/fix his environment and that isn't true any more.
Well, this has nothing to do with Linux, and has been an issue for me
for quite a while.
We have several packages that have a notion of "project" (Didier's
patcher, AUCTeX with its "master files", I had a proof-of-concept
application of the tab control widgets that grouped files more
sensibly than the default does; surely the CEDET/ECB family of
packages does, too). Maybe we should abstract something of that,
combined with something a little more Lisp-y than Matthew's idea of an
environment variable with a short convenient name.
