I have mixed feelings.  Accessing environment variables seems
reasonable on some level, however:

- I'd worry about the choice of the virtual section name. "env" or
  "environment" seems too likely to break existing buildouts.

- I worry a bit about making buildout's "programming language"
  even more sophisticated.

Florian, can you describe why you want to use environment variables in extends?
