I agree with you. To avoid delaying this series too much due to yack
shaving, I've added a task to document all the environment variables. Is
that OK with you ?

Ideally I'd like to document the environment variables in the source
file where they're used, but I think they should also be centralized on
a single page. I'm not sure if Doxygen can support this, I'll try to
have a look. This also brings up the question of higher-level libcamera
usage documentation, we need to figure out where to put it and how to
expose it.
