[sudo-users] can't pass environment variables to sudo env

Hi!

I've noticed that since sudo-1.6.8, i think, I can't pass useful environment
variables like RSYNC_PROXY, ACCEPT_KEYWORDS, USE, and other stuff I use in
Gentoo.

Is there any worthwhile reason for sudo to now ignore the environment
variables, like security reasons? For me, this was a major loss in
functionality.

Best regards,
