I don't know whether this information is helpful regarding context,
but if there is a program "foo", it actually doesn't have to be aware
of "-sys".  It's sufficient to provide a wrapper script "foo-sys":

---------------------------------------------------
#! /bin/sh

TEXMFVAR=`kpsewhich --var-value=TEXMFSYSVAR`
TEXMFCONFIG=`kpsewhich --var-value=TEXMFSYSCONFIG`

export TEXMFVAR TEXMFCONFIG

exec foo
---------------------------------------------------

Regards,
  Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
