couldn't it be made the same way modutils works now?
with the exeption that it would leave modifications..

---example---
### Color-Ls ###
alias ls='ls --color=auto -F'
### Custom ###
CVSROOT=/my/own/cvsroot
export CVSROOT
---example---

although this brought up problems while i was writing this..
as other shells don't support aliases, it would have to be marked in
the config with something like..

alias('ls', 'ls --color=auto -F')

that might be a good solution.. it would then convert it to the
appropriate alias line, or leave it out..

Comments anyone...
