Hello,

This new option allows to specify additional variables to be inherited
in a “pure” (semi-pure?) environment.

The main motivation was the use of the SLURM batch scheduler, which
defines environment variables that you need to preserve so that things
like ‘mpirun’ work correctly.

Thoughts?

Ludo’.
