[Interest] using Environment vars in build params?

[David M. Cotter]

On Windows, I go to the menu bar and pick Tools -> Options… -> Kits, i select my Kit, then next to "Environment" i click "Change", then enter some key/val pairs, eg:

> OS_LONG_NAME=Windows
> OS_SHORT_NAME=win
Then in my project, i click the "Projects" button, then click "Build", and i check "shadow build", then in "Build Directory" i use:

> %{Env:OS_SHORT_NAME}
> 

as part of the path

however, that environment var doesn't resolve.

what's going on?
