It's not pdftex which expands env vars. Works with Knuth's TeX too.
$ echo hello > ~/foo.tex
$ tex '\input $HOME/foo.tex \bye'
This is TeX, Version 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2010)
(/home/reinhard/foo.tex) [1]
Output written on foo.dvi (1 page, 212 bytes).
Transcript written on foo.log.
I suppose that kpathsea expands env vars. Please note that I even
didn't have to change \catcode`\$ .
Regards,
Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
