As for the patch itself: I'm unsure currently.

Environment variables are not the way to go, though they are sure extremely
quick and dirty.


I do not remember, has the CVS client reached the point where we should
think about extending the ~/.cvsrc to a more generic configuration
facility, not only for the default command-line options?

If we'd push the issue towards the OpenSSL configuration -- that's fine.
Otherwise, we'd have to think about the more generic configuration.


Oh!  I know, I know!  If we'd introduce some kind of CVS client
configuration, we'd get rid of src/option.h abomination.
