ccnet.config, accessing system environment variables

[Pauldoo]

Hi,
I am learning to use ccnet to build a C++ project with both VS2003 and
VS2005. I've configured one project with two devenv tasks. Each
devenv task has a different path to find devenv.com.

Currently I have these paths fully hardcoded, but I'd like to use
"%VS71COMNTOOLS%\..\IDE\devenv.com" and "%VS80COMNTOOLS%\..\IDE
\devenv.com" instead. Is this possible within ccnet.config? I've
seen suggestions about writing a small batch file to do this, but I'm
hoping I can do it within ccnet.config itself.

Nope. CCNet won't expand environment variables in its config file, and
the interface it uses to start processes like devenv.com won't either.
