Try again now. I have added unit tests for variables that are not
documented in the code but are taken from the environment, and should
have fixed the http_proxy problem, although I do not have a setup where
I can test it.

It could be packaged for Debian if needed, although the current
Environment does not than just parse configuration, but it is also the
working state for all functions, shell and python, exporting values to
the environment and reimporting changes as needed. Since we do part of
the work in shell, we currently need this way of passing working state
back and forth.
