Maybe...then again I have to hack my apache conf files to setup database 
access and /etc/profile to setup Pg env vars for DBI/DBD anyway.  
Adding PGDATESTYLE to my conf TODO list is painless.  In fact, I use
small patches that I read in via vi...being not overly fond of typing.

I suppose it is personal preference, eh?  After all:  TMTOWTDI.  ;-)
