Correct.  Other than doing a hack, where you replace some text known to be 
generated in the scripts (I've used the pre-defined comments), there isn't a 
standard way to insert environment variable references.  I've done it to access 
the very useful APP_HOME environment variable the script is already creating to 
reference other content bundled with the application.

A standard way to do so, ideally after the script generates any environment 
variables like APP_HOME, would be very useful for this plugin.
