Actually, there is one more way. You can run (I didn't test)
(invoke "env" "VAR1=VAL1" ... "VARn=VALn" "trytond-admin" "ARG1" ... "ARGn")
But personally I prefer the 'setenv' approach, it looks more schemish to
me.
In fact, I think we should have a 'with-environment-variables' macro
which run the body with the appropriate environment variables set and
restore them after we finish, similar to how 'with-directory-excursion'
works.
Cheers,
Alex
