I don't agree. First, this isn't really so much about buildout as it is about the eggs recipe. The zc.recipe.egg:custom already provides custom build support. It seems reasonable to extend it to allow something like this. > Setting environment variables before installing an egg on the other > hand might be useful.

I suggest updating zc.recipe.egg:custom to accept environment- variable, assuming that setting environment variables is sufficient. I think an option to pass setup custom options would be useful as well.
