 Cool, could you abstract that a bit more so that we could have an env_vars
 configuration option?

 Like in nodes.cfs:

 {{{
 [worker-1]
 type=worker
 host=host3
 interface=eth0
 lb_method=myricom
 lb_procs=10
 env_var=SOME_VAR=4
 env_var=ANOTHER_VAR=test
 }}}

 And you could have this in broctl.cfg:

 {{{
 env_vars="SOME_VAR=4 ANOTHER_VAR=test"
 }}}

 There is probably some detail involving the quotes that I'm getting wrong,
 but I think the idea gets across.
