Option to set environment variables through settings.json

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It works on my machine because I have python installed. One of users reported a 
problem that it's not working on his computer, see:

A solution may be to be able to set environment variables through the 
settings.json file. Setting PYTHONHOME / PYTHONPATH may be required for the 
python to work.

• Changed title: Python Desktop doesn't work out of the box - allow setting env variables through settings.json

Setting PYTHONPATH / PYTHONHOME is currently possible using the 
--cgi-environment command line parameter, see the CGIEnvironmentFromArgs wiki 
page.

Another temporary solution is to use a batch file, phpdesktop.bat:

set PYTHONHOME=%~dp0python
set PYTHONPATH=%~dp0python\Lib
set PATH=%PYTHONHOME%;%PATH%
start "My Title" "%~dp0python-desktop-chrome.exe"
