Hey Graeme,

Nice idea, I think this does provide a solution of not having some variables in the yaml file. Though would be even cooler if we could pass them in on command line as well / instead. Would make me a little nervous using environment parameters personally.

Hey Peter, from my instensive study on the subject (10 minutes on google) i couldn't find anyway of allowing python to handle generic switches coming in.

the option would be to do something like how packer handles user variables. something like -var 'variable-name=variable-value' and allow it to accept an array of them.
