Any idea why autobuild the looks in the wrong location for

The autobuild feature that implicitly expands environment variables such as
$AUTOBUILD_ADDRSIZE appearing in autobuild.xml is relatively recent, and we
probably haven't yet covered all the cases where that should happen.

The initial implementation expanded variables right at the point when
autobuild.xml is read, so the expansions applied EVERYWHERE. That turned
out to be the wrong approach, since a number of autobuild commands rewrite
autobuild.xml. We found, to our dismay, that after any such command, all
the variables had been replaced with the specific value at that moment -
making the parameterization useless.

So now we expand variables in specific subcommands. I'm sure we don't yet
do that everywhere we should.
