Minimal changelog

Added support for using environment variables in cmd-actions. This expand the subst_dict with os.environ, so you can use it this way:

def task_hello_env():
    return {'actions': ['echo My shell is %($SHELL)s'] }

To indicate that an environment variable is meant, it starts with a shell like $

This marks the final version of the feature.

Callable dependencies now can support caching, by saving their output to the member "content".

Example:

def svn_up_to_date():
  svn_up_to_date.name = "svn_up_to_date"
  import subprocess

  process = subprocess.Popen("cd svn; svn up; svn info", stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)

  out, err = process.communicate()

  svn_up_to_date.content = out + err

  return svn_up_to_date.content

def task_dist_src():
  return {'actions': ['svn export https://.../branches/dist project',
                      'rm -frv project/{.cvsignore,dist,dist.osx} || true',
                      'tar cvjf project.tar.bz2 project',
                      'rm -rf project'],
          'targets': ('project.tar.bz2',),
          'dependencies': [svn_up_to_date, ":co_svn"]}

The task_dist_src will only be executed, if the output of "svn info" after a "svn up" changes.
