Ticket #814 (closed enhancement: fixed)
Add a SetPropertyFromEnv step that just fetches an env var from the slave

Description
It would be nice if FileUpload? expanded environment variables. That is, slavesrc would expand using the slave's env and masterdest would expand using the master's env.
One could always workaround this using BB properties, but sometimes you've already got the value you need in your env and this would make things a bit more convenient.

We're going to stick to using properties - I don't want to try to reimplement shell variable expansion in the slave code. I think the case you are looking at is in #813, right?
That said, perhaps a SetPropertyFromEnv step (that does not use the shell) would be useful.
