Not really, but I assume it would be more DJB-esque to have tcpserver
run a tiny wrapper program which inspects the environment and then
runs the appropriate program. In the event that Dan doesn't want to
include this feature in tcpserver, this solution also saves you from
having to add it to every future version of tcpserver that you might
want to run.
