Some vendors seemingly offer to set the filename of a pre-connected unit via an
environment variable.
I'm not sure we need this, but some other compilers seem to have it and it is
seemingly used:

------- Comment #1 from kargl at gcc dot gnu dot org 2007-09-17 19:22 -------
I would strongly discourage adding this feature. A long time ago,
either Paul Brook or Steven Bosscher and I exchanged email about
the use of environmental variables to control various aspects of
gfortran. In the end, I recall that we agreed a proliferation of
environmental variables could lead to a maintenance nightmare.
But, as usual if someone implements the feature, I won't stand in
the way.

Tobias says "I'm not sure we need this", and Steve rightly points out that this
was ruled out in the past. So, closing for now. (If the need arises, we should
first discuss it on the list, IMHO.)
