* plugin-runner.c (add_environment): Override existing environment
variables when asked to do so.
All callers changed.
(main): Removed old argp.args_doc string. Parse argument file
before normal command line arguments. Use ARGP_IN_ORDER
flag in both calls to argp_parse. Do not strdup() strings
to be sent to add_environment().

This program will run on the client side in the initial
