Hi John,

I see that an option was added recently which takes care of the first
part of your requesti:

a63cbb56df 2019-01-13 Add auth-source-pass-filename option

I've attached a patch which initializes auth-source-pass-filename to
(getenv "PASSWORD_STORE_DIR") when it's set.  What do you think?

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
