Yes, one way would be to look at LESS from the environment, and prefer
this to the internal ones if it exists. Then there'd have to be some
logic for appending "+G" for the scroll-to-end functionality.

I think, though, that patch would be orthogonal to this one. There's
no reason we shouldn't have saner defaults that don't break
gnome-terminal and konsole. So I'd still recommend merging this patch.

Then, after, if you're still interested, we could look at being
smarter with the environment.
