You can access environment variables by using:
  <property environment="your_preferred_prefix"/>

This reads in all the environment variables, setting them as properties
whose names are ${your_preferred_prefix.ENV_VAR_NAME} -- eg., if
"your_preferred_prefix" is "env" (which is what most people tend to use),
after executing the <property> tag, if $HOME and $BROOT are set in the
environment, you'd reference them as the properties ${env.HOME} and
${env.BROOT}.
