administrator privs on the site workstations, so I am able to run anything I
like on or against these systems.   I am envisioning a little command line
program that would work like this:

$python get_set_env.py -c some_computer_name
This would then just dump the system environment variables of
some_computer_name

$python get_set_env.py -c some_computer_name -e UG_SHOW_MOD True
On the system some_computer_name, this would edit the system environment
variable UG_SHOW_MOD to a value of True.

$python get_set_env.py -c some_computer_name -s UG_RUN_DIR  C:\UGII
On the system some_computer_name, this would create the system environment
variable UG_RUN_DIR and set it to the value C:\UGII
