Command-line is easy, if you do the "-o" example I posted some time
back, i.e.

zope start instance -o ZServer.HTTPPort=80 -o ZServer.ICPPort=1234

etc.  These would correspond to HTTPPort and ICPPort under the
[ZServer] section, for example.

Environment; I don't know how you'd do that.  Is that an absolute
must to support?  I guess I can see how it'd be useful, but if it
were me, I'd just backup and edit my instance.conf :-)
