I have to bring this up again because I noticed that autotest-runner above
does only work if I export QBS_AUTOTEST_PROFILE to the system environment.
Exporting it in the current user session as shown above, does not work. The
only way I was able to do it was, to override project.autotestWrapper with a
custom script that exports QBS_AUTOTEST_PROFILE. But isn't that a little
awkward? Therefore I would like to know:

1. Is that the way how developers are supposed to inject profiles into the
   autotest-runner product?
2. How are you doing it? Could you publish your Jenkins scripts?
3. How about adding a property "runEnvironment" to QbsAutotest that would
   allow to set the profile on the command line when building
   autotest-runner? Those variables would be appended to
   qbs.commonRunEnvironment in the product.

Thank you very much
Richard
