That's true and that's a good point, but I am interested in discussing environment variables as a form of *run-time* configuration, not compile time. I know that many suckless programs use only compile-time configuration and command line options, but I imagine that there might be some cases where compile-time configuration is not appropriate (e.g. intended audience is not programmers or program is hard/slow to compile). -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Or how I learned to stop worrying and love email again
