Cover letter [RFC PATCH 0/1] Save the initial environment

Both Chris' terminal work and my reparse command will benefit from a saved copy of the initial enviornment. The Python docs indicate that the os.environ map is captured when the os module is first imported
http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#os.environ) so this patch adds a variable to the bb namespace (bb.initial_environ) that is an early copy of the environment.

I put the variable here so that a) it's easily accessible and b) we can take the copy pretty early on.

Any thoughts on this? Note the RFC prefix. :-)

Thanks,

Joshua
