What doesn't work? PKGVULNDIR in environment? (It works for me.)

Or FETCH_ARGS? It also works for me:

rainier:~/tmp$ FETCH_ARGS=-V PKGVULNDIR=~/tmp download-vulnerability-list
Trying 2001:4f8:4:7:2e0:81ff:fe21:6563...
ftp: connect to address 2001:4f8:4:7:2e0:81ff:fe21:6563: No route to host
Trying 204.152.190.13...
No change from existing package vulnerabilities file

rainier:~/tmp$ rm ./pkg-vulnerabilities

rainier:~/tmp$ FETCH_ARGS=-V PKGVULNDIR=~/tmp download-vulnerability-list
Trying 2001:4f8:4:7:2e0:81ff:fe21:6563...

Package vulnerabilities file has been updated

rainier:~/tmp$ wc -l pkg-vulnerabilities ; ls -l pkg-vulnerabilities
     959 pkg-vulnerabilities
-rw-r--r--  1 reed  pkgsrc  88430 Feb  9 14:55 pkg-vulnerabilities


Some FETCH_ARGS may not work with -o switch already being used.
