README environment variables

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I ran the gtest_unittest.exe and got a number of warnings about missing 
enviornment variables, can we document these in the README file?

Here are the warnings I see on the console:

[----------] 2 tests from Int32FromEnvOrDieDeathTest
[ RUN      ] Int32FromEnvOrDieDeathTest.AbortsOnFailure

integer, but actually has value "xxx".

If you look at the tests you'll see that it's Google Test verifying its own 
subsystems in failure modes. As such, diagnostic output from them is to be 
expected. The important thing to look at is the final test result.

I don't think the issue warrants including in README. README should be discuss 
more general issues important to majority of users.
