           Summary: Need to be able to prepend and append entries to
                    environment variables
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: 3.0.2
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel kdevelop org
        ReportedBy: aaronw net com


Version:           3.0.2 (using KDE 3.2.1, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3
OS:          SunOS (sun4u) release 5.8

It would be very useful if I could have a project override various environment variables like $PATH and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, for example, to prepend the directory containing the tools.

For example, I want to do something like:

export PATH="/opt/gcc3.3/bin:$PATH"

without having to specify the entire pathname.  Otherwise, configure picks up the wrong tools.
