That seems reasonable.  It's unfortunate that env does not grok --
as a separator between variable-setting arguments and the command.
That would let us make it a mandatory convention that -- appear in
$(test-wrapper-env) uses, making make it easy and robust to write
test-wrapper-env scripts.  But matching *=* with case is not so hard.


Thanks,
Roland
