[Swift-devel] could swift use return code from falkon as a success notification?

That's hit someone before, maybe Nika when she was trying to use falkon?

I was thinking very similar about SWIFT_HOME yesterday, which similarly 
appears to only have use in screwing up installations.

CLASSPATH would have use if people started trying to do link/run time 
loading of interesting things, rather than compiling stuff into the source 
directory. But that doesn't happen.

I think I'm happy with both of those being ignored from the calling 
environment, or at least a stern warning being given or both.
