"pyx" is an old-style spkg, nobody has touched it in at least 2 years when 
we changed the packaging system. Nobody tests it, clearly nobody uses it, 
and I dare say nobody knows what its for. Apparently its SPKG.txt has 
barely any useful information, we don't know who packaged it. It clearly 
doesn't pass the bar for an optional package, which is why it hasn't been 
converted to a new-style package. 

Which also means that pyx's packaging scripts are not in the git repo. So 
there isn't going to be any grep-ing for deprecated stuff (like environment 
variables) or any kind of souce audit going to happen.
