[Opensim-dev] Supporting shell environment variables

[Dahlia Trimble]

At one time I had some code in there that would look at an environment
variable and use it to set the external hostname for the region. I think
that code has since been removed by someone else but I remember I did use a
standard .NET call to do it, probably
System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable()
