Comment (by marisn):

 It's not that easy. Setting env variables for Windows users is not so
 common as for *nix'ers. IMHO a correct solution would be to accept both –
 env variables and command line parameters + add an explanation in
 documentation. Thus on typical single user Windows boxes nothing would
 change, but multiuser *nix users will be able to not expose their
 credentials by using env vars.
