I actually had this open in a tab for something else I was doing.

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPRuntimeConfig/Articles/EnvironmentVars.html

At the bottom of that page is an explanation how to set an environment
variable for an app bundle.

I am so, so excited for this.  Good work folks!
