In my online research, I was finding limits more like 1024 or 2048 characters 
maximum.  But if 32767 bytes is the real limit, and there are no compatibility 
issues with certain programs for values longer than 1024 characters, that would 
be great.

Seriously? 32,767 bytes maximum in an environment variable. If you blow that 
then I suggest installing all those packages somewhere nearer the filesystem 
root!
