-> Yes, but you should be able to get away with just defining the 2 or 3
-> environment variables that Quixote relies on.  Read the source to find
-> out which ones they are.  ;-) (Hint: grep for 'environ'.)

Err, thanks ;).  What I was *really* hoping for was a commitment from
you guys to not use additional environment variables in the future!
I'll just do a grep each time you create a new version ;).

-> Oooh, yuck.  Which version of Python?  If not in (2.1.2, 2.2): upgrade.
-> (Also, which OS?)

Python 2.1.2, Linux.  I'll try it out on 2.2 once I have a clean machine
somewhere to install it on.

Oh, and since I don't hear it enough on the list: you guys have done a great
thing with Quixote.  Very slick & easy to use; I may be in love.
