If env variables is all you want to use , why not use getenv(), and
setenv() from a C program. The .profile might have other things
that you would not necessarily want to turn on every time.
As for shell script to keep changes in the current shell , scripts
have to be run with a . instead of a sh , otherwise they have to be exported
to the parent explicitly.
