visudo DOES respect the EDITOR variable.  However, running a command
directly with "sudo <command>" does not SET the EDITOR variable.  It's
not safe to pass through the user's EDITOR setting (as that can open up
a whole set of security issues), and when sudo runs a command without a
shell, most environment is not set (you can see this with "sudo env").
