grunt ENV config

[drkibitz]

I was looking through the source and saw this line:

var context = _.extend({},defaultEnv,process.env)

Though defaultEnv doesn't seem exposed in any way. I would love to be able to override process.env variables with properties set within my grunt file, or even define my own context, maybe something like:

var context = this.data.context || _.extend({},defaultEnv,process.env)
if (this.data.env) _.extend(context, this.data.env);

Using grunt these of course can be expanded json file directives, and things get much more flexible.

Would also like to get at the current grunt process task as well, maybe?

var context = this.data.context || _.extend({TARGET: this.target}, process.env)

Thanks for the comments, @drkibitz, we also made grunt-env which allows you to specify ENV variables in your Gruntfile, works well with this task
