running ROOT in batch mode

Hello rooters, I have a suggestion and would like to see if it also 
seems reasonable to you:

- I'm running ROOT in embedded mode where main provided by the 
  reconstruction framework also handles the terminal input
- I need to run the executable in batch as well as in interactive mode;
- with MAIN handling the terminal input it is pretty cumbersome to pass
  `- b' option to ROOT to switch off the initialization of ROOT's 
  GUI factory
- it would be quite useful in addition to `-b' command line option to have 
  an environmental variable (say ROOTBATCH or whatever) which, if defined,
  would disable initialization of the GUI factory

		Any opinions ? - regards, pasha
