Yes, and that’s what we want.
However, the ‘exec’ line in the wrapper needs the absolute file name.
For that it can do along the lines of:
(string-append "exec " (canonicalize-path file))

Yeah there are two choices: two required arguments (like above), where
the second one is a list, or one required argument and one rest
argument.
In the latter case, you would instead do:
(wrap-program "wget" '("PATH" ":" = ("/nix/.../gawk/bin"))
'("CERT_PATH" ":" suffix ("/nix/.../share/certs"
"/nix/.../foo/certs")))
I tend to prefer this form because it may be more concise in common
cases.
HTH,
