True, but we're talking about automatic testing on the buildbots in this case. >> But it's not like I'm vehemently opposed or anything.

It works, but does not have the desired effect (on the buildbots, again). PCBuild\rt.bat does run 'python_d -E ...', which ignores the environment variables. The debug assertion in Lib\test\test_os.py is fixed now, but the test hangs on Windows in the next debug assertion in _bsddb_d.pyd (IIRC).
