Sure, but what variables are actually necessary to export and, more
interestingly, why are they needed in the environment at all?  When
running from tetex everything works fine.  I'm guessing this is mostly
due to differences between stuff in tetex 2.0.2 and more recent releases
of software, but I still can't see why it would be necessary to fill the
environment with some 10-20 variables.
