To be honest I don't see a problem second-classing tiny embedded systems
when it comes to this auxiliary feature.

If anyone knows a clean solution then please tell, but I can't see a
good solution that involves a Scheme interface and doesn't have the
problem with using hash table operations before and after a change to
the salt value.  From what I can tell it's intrinsically something that
needs to happen during/before process initialization, and environment
variables seem to be the best thing we have for that.
