Just in case you were not already aware of it:
the env var stuff can be found 'for reference'
in the CVS repository of the unix port of acme.
(it was added in one version and removed again in the next;
 I just applied the changes and it works fine)
(until the latest port update when acme stopped working
 for me on sunos 5.8 -- I'm just using a slighly older
 ports version)

I made one minor change to the unix acme-with-env-vars:
I changed the sorting of the env vars, such that the env var
matching the longest part of the file name gets used,
instead of the env var with the shortest name.
I send that fix to Russ, don't know if it got also added
'for reference' to the CVS repository - if you want it,
let me know.

Axel.
