Hello,

I want to report on my progress. This allows me to source environment
variables for process-environment, which is used for compilation and
debugging (gdb). The variables are set with a BASH script. I hope
that it is useful to others.

Note that
1. the name of the sourced file needs to be changed:
   `/path/to/environment/file.sh'
2. Emac's `compile-command' may not need the `METHOD=dbg' (it's
   something for me)
3. `$ENV_VAR_CPU' sets set the number of processes to run with
   make. This variable is defined in `/path/to/environment/file.sh'.

This is how I check if the environment is working:
