I've done something similar with "mvnclienta" and "mvnclientb". You
simply copy the mvn.bat file, rename it, and insert the "-s
.../settings-clienta.xml" into the call to mvn directly. This seems
like a reasonable approach to me on any OS.

I'm starting the terminal with some additional, client-specific environment variables. This allows me to use different Maven, Java, etc. versions, depending on each client's specifications.

With Your approach, I see 2 problems:

1. I wouldn't like to create new mvnclient* scripts on every version upgrade. And when I simply copy them from another Maven version, I'd first have to check if there aren't any changes in the original scripts.

2. Hudson offers automatic installation of Maven distributions. This is a very nice feature, because (especially in bigger organisations) admins often don't like to provide developers with access to the server hosts. But don't see a (reasonable) way the replicate the mvnclient* scripts in an automatically installed distribution.
