Hello.
I'm using standard 'setuptex' file to set apropriate variables for my
shell. I'd like to suggest small improvement for this file. See
attached patch.
P.S. The real use of this file is in my shell initialization scripts.
It is sourced in specific way so I faced a situation when 'export' is
required. Besides that unsetting unused variables also good habit to
interactive session.

Done, thanks.
But I also unset TEXMFOS. Out of curiosity: why/when do you need export?

I wasn't sure about that variable. Quick search (grep -r 'TEXMFOS'
CONTEXT_MINIMAL/*) shows me a lot places where that variable is used.

In short: for shell session set up.
IMHO, this is not right place to disscuss shell sessions, but I use `setuptex'
for tmux window initialization (see here:
https://github.com/vp1981/scripts/tree/master/tmux/scripts, files
smoon{,3,4}, though I didn't test with export yet).

It is wise to keep in mind that neither success nor failure is ever final.
