Shouldn't the right env-var simply be automatically selected based on
the project of the current buffer?

IOW, I'd rather have a cl-generic `project-envvars` and then somehow
make sure these envvars are passed to any sub-process.

I often work on several projects basically at the same time in a single
Emacs session, so manually "selecting" a project would be inconvenient.

You mean something similar to locate-file (but returning "all matches"
and in the form of an iterator)?  Sounds fine to me.

I haven't seen the current code, so I don't know what it's using now
instead of generator.el.

Sounds cool.

The usual answer for this question is "yes".  If you're unsure, making
it an "external" (rather than a plain directory inside `packages`) makes
it easy to get rid of it without leaving traces in the Git history.
