I don't understand the point you are making. If an MW administrator can set environmental variables, then, of course, what you suggests works. However, Brion mentions in his Tues, Aug 11, 10:09 email that not every MW installation admin can set environmental variables and Aryeh states in his Tues, Aug. 11, 10:09am message that some MW administrators only have FTP access to the installations they manage. So, as I understand it some administrators cannot use the tactic you describe.
If they can run commands on the command line, then they can use environment variables. If they can't, then your suggestion doesn't help.
If there are administrators who can execute command lines, but cannot set environmental variables (e.g., they are confined to use a special shell)
There aren't. That would make no sense.
