I don't think so. For an httpd setup, you are better off assuming that the
environment is empty because you'd be inheriting the process environment of
the user who started it: and that can easily change.

I think keeping it with an empty environment leads to the most predictable
behavior on our parts. Otherwise, things may break depending upon who started
the server: and that causes all sort of goofy badness. -- justin
