Oh really? Of course PAGER and BROWSER are well-know, nut for the others 
I searched a bit and didn't find any well-established name. I'm glad to 
learn that this choice is indeed well-established names.

Do you have references of other programs using it?

I'm not sure I see any use of PDFVIEWER.texdoc? Do you have something in 
mind?

But, while I perfectly see what distincts TEXINPUTS.latex and 
TEXINPUTS.xelatex can be good for, I don't understand the purpose of 
PDFVIEWER.texdoc.  I mean, you generally have only one prefered viewer, 
don't you?
