I use one Makefile per buildbot (slave or master) instance, and within 
that Makefile I (re-)define essential environment variables such as 
PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PYTHONPATH, etc.
Doing this allows me to fine-tune the environment for each instance, and 
it makes sure that no matter which user runs 'make start' the spawned 
demon will work identically.

FWIW,
