I believe that the latest release of openssh provides a way that
you can specify other environment variables whose values will be
passed across an ssh connection.  I think you have to configure
both ends of the connection to allow each specific environment
variable.  But I have not installed the new version yet, so I have
not had a chance to see how the new feature works.
