I don't think I've ever seen a complete list of all the available variables, for precisely that reason - as applications change, or new ones crop up, the list would change. That being said, you can usually find a decent list in the manpage of the associated program. For library related environment variables, take a look at man ld. For a list of common (and some not so common) variables for the bash shell, take a look at man bash, in the section 'shell variables' (line 500 or so here, will vary with your term size, though).
