Support changing the build backends via env vars #46

Closed jimporter closed 8 years ago

jimporter commented 8 years ago

Currently, we autodetect the best build system and get version info by running it and grabbing the version. However, this fails if the name is something we don't expect (or it's not in the PATH). We should support checking standard env vars to get the build backend's name, e.g. $MAKE. This may end up obviating #12.
