You set these variables in some startup script or in .bash_rc, and
that's it. It's a one-time thing.

I don't mind adding something, but what you originally suggested is a
non-starter, because the current operation with forceful setting of
emacs_dir must stay, as most users need it. You cannot blindly obey
an external setting of emacs_dir, because it could come from an
incompatible Emacs version, e.g., if one version of Emacs spawns a
shell that then runs another version.
So if you can suggest a way that leaves the emacs_dir variable alone,
but still lets you do what you want more conveniently, please do.
Personally, I don't think that setting 3 environment variables is such
a grave problem, but that's me.
By the way, you didn't tell why you need this configuration and what
does it have to do with MSYS.
