[Rivet] Rivet

[Andrii Verbytskyi]

Hi,
yes, environment variables are working, however passing arguments via
environment variables is implicit way and implicit way is worse that
explicit. Also, in many cases environment variables will make things
less convenient or even defunct. A good example is using rivet
from a Makefile. One can say the same about using rivet in system() and
so on. Also, the way of setting environment variables depends on shell
--> less convenient usage of rivet even from shell.


Best regards,
Andrii
