The one that caused me grief was USERPROFILE.  It caused trouble
because of a 3rd party tool that did not expect any spaces in
its value.  I was a little surprised at first because I am using
env for strict control of the environment.

If they have to stay because Microsoft says so, I guess I'll have
to work around this some other way.
