Our official Convex make doesn't import things from the environment last
time I checked.  It's cc that believes it.  Hey, if you like that, you can
use CPPOPTIONS to get a reasonable cpp, and LINTOPTIONS for lint.  It's 
become a multi-universe nightmare.  (Speaking as a user, not an employee,
of course.)
