@env for environment variables; two spaces after "." in Texinfo sources.

' is a right quote in Texinfo, so you need @samp{#} for proper quoting.

@option for command-line options, and @var for metasyntactic variables 
(lowercase inside @var, so @var{prefix} etc.).  @file for filenames.

I expect people will look at the patch in more detail once the copyright
