If we add it to the documentation the question is if we should also
document environment variables for builds with make. But maybe that is
for a separate patch.
As for documenting it in testwrap: that does not feel very useful to me
since people who know that this is where they should look likely already
knows about these. It is a pretty hidden place. Hmm, not sure where such
information belongs.
