Perhaps we can start it like this. Then pager.c can iterate over
the PAGER_ENV string, parse out LESS=, LV=, etc., and do its thing.
We would also need to muck with git-sh-setup.sh but that file is
already preprocessed in the Makefile, so we should be able to do
something similar to "# @@BROKEN_PATH_FIX@@" there.
