There is one thing I am missing from the otherwise nice Unix world that
I grew accustomed to when in the PRIMOS world, and that is to be able to
specify a default search path for <include> files and "-lfoo" libraries.

I know that I can use "-I" and "-L" on the command line, but I think
that it would be much better if there were a mechanism for handling
this using environment variables when I always (or most of the time)
have to add a directory to the search path.

What do you folx think? I'm thinking of writing the code needed to
implement this (easy to do in Gcc/cccp.c, haven't looked at the code
for the ld linker).

/Peter
