[lug] modifying environment variables on the fly

[Glenn Murray]

That sounds like a pretty slick way to do it.  

In our projects we just have the compile/run scripts under CVS as well
so the developers can run those.  This is a help for us as sometimes
we have a long list of command line arguments for "java" which we want
in a script anyway.  The CLASSPATH stuff then goes in the script, too.
This works if the developer is running bash under Windoze, as well.

I presume "make" could do this sort of thing, too.
