#11 IPS run directory portability

[David Green]

At present we cannot move an IPS run directory from one place to another, for example on users directory to another, and have it just run. You have to change several paths in the config file. I would like to be able to just copy someones run, and place it in my user directory and run without any modifications. Another example is to run the same run on a different machine, specifically hopper and edison without changing the config file. All this should be achievable by adding the parsing of environment variables, together with a convention for the config file within the AToM project. Is it possible to add this capability to the IPS?

The current version imports HOME from the environment into IPS simulations. We'll extend this capability to import all environment vars, while giving precedence to config file entries in case of duplicate definition

Excellent. That'll work great!
