The environment variable for using the native PDB was always intended to be 
temporary, since the native PDB reader would eventually be the only PDB reader.

In general, I find environment variables harder to manage (especially on 
Windows) than command line options.  They're invisible global variables that 
compound all the environmental issues that make building and testing so flaky 
and hard to diagnose.
