This is an interesting idea.  GraphicsMagick has a similar problem so 
a shell script is configured which is used to execute the programs 
with additional environment variables.  This approach only works if 
the user remembers to use the script.  So it would indeed be useful if 
libtool's wrapper could cache and replay user-supplied environment 
variables.
