Right.

It would help, at least.  But isn't the choice of configuration
variable making it too easy to mess up the system?  If one do
SWAP=/tmp/swap, it will break completely, right?  Why do you want to
be able to specify a single PATH, instead of specifying where the swap
files will be stored, and leave it to the script to come up with an
unique name?

I suspect the interface design for the configuration options should be
reconsidered because of tihs.  To me, the SWAP option do not make
sense.
