Maybe if you'd gone back to the post I sent on June 14 when I originally
offered the patch you'd have seen:

I don't want to pollute the environment for any other command obviously…
and really, I still think creating five new configuration variables to
do what can be accomplished with two isn't a good trade-off.

Factoring out the command invocation into a function probably is a net
win, though -- so I'd keep that part.  It'd probably be useful in some
other instances to so a similar refactoring.
