LapDevelopment_Environment

Background

LAP internals are in no small part parameterized in terms of environment variables; this is in part motivated by security considerations (e.g. the MongoDB connection parameters do not become visible in the command line this way), in part by an anticipated desire for per-user (or per-workflow), mixed-version use of tools: ultimately, we want it to be possible for there to be different (parallel) instances of the LAP Tree (and possibly also the Library and Tool wrappers, though obviously there will be dependencies among these).
