Rather than editing the source files at install time, consider just

I'd still need to define that environment variable in a wrapper script,

No, the whole point is it's an environment variable which is *missing"
in production environment. Make sure you make it an obscure name, like
set MyProductName_TestingMode=1
So the way you know you're in a production environment is that you do
not have such an environment variable.
