"HOME" environment variable for application

I did not see how to do this, so I assume it's a "feature request". When I
install any application that has a command-line interface, I need to be
able to refer to the directory where it is installed. So, for example, if I
install Oracle JRE and Ant and Maven, I want to have the following
environment variables set automatically:

JAVA_HOME
ANT_HOME
MAVEN_HOME

All of those are in fact "Standard" variables that are assumed by scripts
that use those tools, and so are generally "expected" to be there. I did
not see how to do this in the Zero-Install UI, such that I had to copy the
installation path manually and define those variables manually in the
environment, pointing to the "obscure" installation paths. I would assume
adding those automatically would be a minimal change to Zero-Install,
although maybe the cross-platform nature makes this more challenging then
it would seem.
