(btw, it would be interesting to know to what extend linux/osx set up possible conflicting variables; when i made setuptex i had to take care of everything that a sysadm had set up (for instance in a project outside our company where the users has to deal with very old tex's hanging around and not being updated or lagging two years behind, and setuptex is then the only way to keep interference away)
On my machine (Mac OS X 10.5.2) with only the MacTeX distribution (TeX Live 2007 for Mac) installed no environment variable whatsoever is set that's related to TeX in any way ... I can't comment on older distributions though. Oliver
