I don't know about such a way.

If you put something like your proposal into place, I suggest to  
change it a little bit. The way outlined below discards any user  
specified settings. So I suggest to use FOO="$FOO bar" instead of  
FOO=bar. This way an user can override the search order.

Bye,
Alexander.
