Well, we're moving to combine WebKitPort and Port, so all ports will be WebKitPorts. I'm not wild about the prefix idea, because it still suffers from the same problem (you can't look at the code and figure out which variables will have an effect).

I would be open to the idea of a command line flag that lets you pass arbitrary environment variables through; I can certainly see the value for testing and development in not having to add a variable to the whitelist every time you try something, but if code gets checked in using a new variable, it should probably have to be in the list, I think.

I could be convinced I'm wrong, though.
