Perhaps we need a 4th xml file for this.

After writing just a couple packages, I can see merit in being able to
define global environment variables for wpkg.

Example: suppose that my installation share point is \\conan\installers\wpkg. I would much rather have $WPKG.

and later, as I accumulate bat files to run the two commands it takes to install so many things, to be able to say

PATH=$WPKG/bat:$PATH

***
This may also be the right place to put things like
PACKAGES=$WPKG/xmlpacks/*.xml
PROFILES=$WPKG/xmlprof/*.xml
for people who want to have a bunch of little files instead of a few big ones.

WPKG can use environmental variables.

See wpkg-start.bat.examples file that comes in the package:

:: You can also use variables...

set WPKGROOT=\\server\wpkg
set PACKAGES=%WPKGROOT%\packages
%WPKGROOT%\wpkg.js /synchronize /debug

:: ...and then, you can put into packages.xml something like:

<install cmd='%PACKAGES%\test\test.exe -silent' />
