I don't want to promise too much, as the design is mostly unwritten yet, but
that's part of my plans.
Note that compiler descriptions already have an `env:` field:
env: [[CAML_LD_LIBRARY_PATH = "%{lib}%/stublibs"]]
that propagates to the user environment (i.e. `opam config env`)
We also already have some specific operators to dictate environment variable
updates, documented at http://opam.ocaml.org/doc/Manual.html#Environmentupdates
