I have a need to set environment variables specific to a scons build step. It is not used by Sconstruct itself, but by a python library which I call from scons, that accesses the environment variables.

It needs to be outside the SConstruct file itself, because I use the same scons project outside of jenkins for manual builds.

I have no way of accomplishing this, except to manage the global Jenkins configuration itself.

(I'm also going to put in a request for this to be added at the Jenkins job level; it'd be nice if it could be added to the build step level for all types of build steps, but that seems like it might be hard because they are so different.)
