Please switch build.gradle to using System.properties not System.getenv

[yaronyg]

Right now the build.gradle gets config parameters from system environment variables which are set up different on different platforms and so make it really hard to get a consistent gradle build.

But gradle has its own built in mechanism, gradle.properties, whose values can be accessed via system.properties. Can we please switch the config variables from system.getenv to system.properties?

It will make the build consistent regardless of OS.

BTW the current gradle.build file is particularly weird because some values (like buildListenerWithArtifactes) use getProperty but other values (like UPLOAD_VERSION_CBLITE) do not. Sort of the worst of both worlds. :)

Totally hear you. I have some constraints keeping me from changing UPLOAD_VERSION_CBLITE (eg, need to coordinate this change w/ the Jenkins CI server)
