I think that it should be a mount option rather than an environment setting,
actually.  How about these options:

	mount
	  -b		"binary" mount
	  -p		posix semantics (case sensitive)
	  -A		do not use extended attributes
	  -r		"r"emovable device (floppy, zip drive)
	  -s		create mount table in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
