Looks like Dave's ENV settings come directly from the fink core
code. Which raises the question: should the FAQ initially indicate
Fink compile-time behavior (so there are no surprises when translating
manual compile into a fink package) and then add CFLAGS (etc.) in a
separate "you may also need some of these" codeblock? Or is the FAQ
more designed for Joe User (!= Joe Potential-Maintainer) and should
continue to list the full set of what might reasonably be needed?

Maybe maybe the FAQ should be left as-is and the actual Fink behavior
(which does not appear to be documented anywhere?) noted in the
Packaging Manual description of the SetENVVAR field?
