Are there any other frequently-used *_OPTIONS variables that we should
also consider unsetting?  For example, $LESS affects less(1), but you are
unlikely to use less in a configure script.  Or $M4PATH affects m4(1), but
only after the command line options, so it shouldn't affect autom4te's
usage patterns.
