On the server side, just set AcceptEnv in the config file and use the
environment variable in your program/shell/whatever.

On the client side if you really want a command-line option then get your
directory from getopt() and putenv() it and update options->send_env
and options->num_send_env (see the oSendEnv case in readconf.c for
an example).  Are you sure you want to do that, though?  You'll have
to maintain a modified client.  Alternatively you might just write a
wrapper script that execs ssh with the appropriate SendEnv option.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
