At this point, I'm thinking save it for post-1.18 (we've already got 
enough churn on VDDK with LD_LIBRARY_PATH changes).

How would it play with --dump-config?  Right now, we allow that to run 
after .config but before .config_complete, precisely so that language 
bindings can accept the first .config to determine their script name, 
and then consult the script for any further config help.
