Each step runs in its own shell, so each one starts with a fresh
environment.  One option is to set properties, rather than environment
variables.  Another option is to combine the multiple steps into one
step that runs a shell script (in a single shell, so environment
variables persist); of course this loses the distinction of multiple
steps from Buildbot's perspective.
