But PYTHONHOME=$HOME for some user overrides of system Python would no longer
work.  What would $PYTHONHOME otherwise be useful for?

At least for $PERL5LIB I add $HOME{/share,/lib{,64}}/perl5 myself.  It seems
to me $PERL5LIB is in part $PYTHONHOME (.so) and $PYTHONPATH (.py).

[RFA] ignore PYTHONHOME environment variable.
