How about something like this? It's a little less invasive (but no less 
of a hack).

I'll have to think about this more generally though, since I think 
Eshell should be a lot more precise about how it handles environment 
variables on remote hosts in general. Maybe we even want each host to 
have its own distinct set of env vars. That would probably be safer...
