Another popular technique is for the subprocess to print the commands
to set the variables, then from the login shell you "eval" the output.
E.g.,
~> printenv LS_COLORS
~> dircolors -c
setenv LS_COLORS
'no=00:fi=00:di=01;34:ln=01;36:...
~> eval `dircolors -c`
~> printenv LS_COLORS
no=00:fi=00:di=01;34:ln=01;36:...
Note that I'm using csh. For bash, use "dircolors -b".
