It would be good to mention something about this somewhere. Maybe
the build instructions should tell to unset the variables after
not being required anymore. Ideally, people would use a fresh
shell for building each package to ensure that no such variables
are still set from a previous build.
Not a bad point - I think in some places in the book this is done, but
not in all, and in the case of Mozilla/Firefox/Thunderbird, it can
definately have an effect, since each uses essentially the same
codebase, with the enviornment variables determining which parts get built.
CC'ing this over to -dev, since it's definately more on topic there.
