Hi Ben, sorry for delay!

The problem is (was?) that Dejagnu doesn't have a generic interface 
(independent from network protocol) for setting environment variables on 
remote targets. We used various workarounds for ssh case, but still 
unable to find generic solution.
Quite frankly, I don't work on this problem nowadays, but I think it 
would be nice to add such an interface in perspective.
