RE: Access to Environment Variables other than ANT_HOME of CLASSP ATH

There are other ways - you can use <loadproperty> to load properties from a
file. You can add -Dproperty=value in ANT command. They work fine without
hacking.

We were only aiming to have our project built on Unix systems for now.  So 
this won't be a problem for the foreseeable future.

When we do cross that bridge, we will probably use the more standard means
of setting configuration parameters and dispense with environment variables.

Thanks for pointing thei out all the same.

Best regards,

James
