This doesn't work for
SSL_CERT_DIR/SSL_CERT_FILE/GUIX_LOCALEPATH/PYTHON_TZPATH if the user
has a thematic ‘data’ profile containing certificates, timezones and
locales.  

Also, this seems like a limitation that the user needs to be aware
of (and hence documented).  Why give the user something buggy and
inform the user that its buggy, when it can be made non-buggy?
