[Chicken-users] NURSERY environment variable considered harmful

Is it really good policy to allow people to set a NURSERY environment variable to affect the build? I'm really against cryptic ways of building stuff, like CHICKEN_HOME and NURSERY. These things are forgotten, they affect stuff, they create bugs in people's error reportage, etc. If it is important to allow custom configuration of NURSERY in the build, I propose a CMake OPTION for it, not an environment variable. Let me know if there are important case uses of NURSERY for either Chicken or eggs, apart from the build.


Cheers,
