Actually, ACLOCAL, MAKE, and FONTPATH follow the same pattern and I
was going to add them to the usage() information. In other words,
defining those in the environment causes the specified commands to run
instead of the defaults. They replace the default.

PKG_CONFIG_PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and PATH don't follow the same
pattern in that they add to such-named variables; they don't replace
them. So I wasn't going to add them to the list. But I could add them
to a separate list.
