[Jon Baer]

Well I remembered it from a PHP internals talk I saw once and the  
same question was asked about how $_* variables are pushed up from  
the server layer.  Although Nate's solution is definitely what you  
want.  It makes sense though as you work up the stack to have common  
variables to depend on even if they need to be set in the environment.
