OTOH there's nothing saying we can't do both.

Actually, I now remember having also wished for a "pg_config --all"
switch that would dump out everything the program knows.  The existing
UI makes you ask pretty-please for each tidbit, and that gets old fast.
Would --all serve what you had in mind, or do you specifically want
--build-env?
