Ahh, this is very nice--I'm not very well versed in all this PAM
stuff, but it seems that the pam_env module takes care of most of my
concerns.  The only unsolved problem seems to be X sessions, since xdm
isn't PAMified yet.  We'll need to either PAMify xdm or use the "set -a"
trick in /etc/X11/Xsession when /env/environment is sourced.
