New description:

 Tahoe could use some environment variables for some of the settings that
 normally get passed on command line.

 Specifically, specifying the --node-directory would be useful if you're
 doing a lot of work on a node that is not in ~/.tahoe so you don't have to
 include it in every command.  Also, if you're trying to use the duplicity
 backend, which doesn't seem to let you pass options to tahoe, There is
 currently no way to make it work on a node that isn't in ~/.tahoe, and
 this should make that possible.
