With SCons, key-value pairs that are meant to appear in process    
environment need to be added to the env['ENV'] mapping. In this  
case:  
   
    env = Environment(...)  
    env['ENV']['HOME'] = os.environ['HOME']   
   
Environment() creates an SCons build environment which is unrelated  
to subprocess environments (even though the same word is used :)).  
As a special case, SCons handles the mapping assigned to env['ENV']  
as process environment for subprocesses.  
  
Hope this helps,
