adding context variables in a target extension class

[Steve Byan]

I'd like to add some test context variables in a target extension 
class. Unless I've missing something (quite possible), the only obvious 
place where a target extension class can get its paws on the context is 
in the RunTest method. So I imagine something like this:

	def RunTest(self, descriptor, context):
		properties = { "TARGET_HOSTNAME" : "minigolf.egenera.com" }
		context = ContextWrapper(context, properties)
		Target.RunTest(self, descriptor, context)


It seems a little heavyweight to be constructing a ContextWrapper in 
the RunTest  method in the MyTarget class and then constructing yet 
another ContextWrapper on the ContextWrapper in the RunTest method in 
the base Target class.  Have I missed something - isn't there a way to 
add to the context in the __init__ or Start methods?

Regards,
-Steve
