Right; the quotes in the example usage of set= shouldn't be there, as
quotation depends upon how the command is executed (e.g. via a shell,
in which case, which shell), not the command itself.

Fixed in CVS.

Right; it's taken the opening quote as part of the variable name, and
the closing quote as part of the value.

Right, so g.gisenv is working.
