 *
 * NAME:        UT_EnvControl.h ( UT Library, C++)
 *
 * COMMENTS:    In Houdini applications, there are many environment variables
 *              which control the behaviour of certain features/capabilities.
 *              This class provides a centralized place to efficiently query
 *              these variables.  The reason for the centralization is so that
 *              we can easily get a list of these control variables.  As well,
 *              this mechanism provides ways of changing the control settings
 *              from environment variables to disk file to registry entry.
 *              Currently only environment variable control is supported.
 *
 *
 *   When adding a new environment variable, please document the variable in
 *   $SHD/ref/env.txt
