#:  * `sh` [`--env=std`]:
#:    Start a Homebrew build environment shell. Uses our years-battle-hardened
#:    Homebrew build logic to help your `./configure && make && make install`
#:    or even your `gem install` succeed. Especially handy if you run Homebrew
#:    in an Xcode-only configuration since it adds tools like `make` to your `PATH`
#:    which otherwise build systems would not find.
#:
#:    If `--env=std` is passed, use the standard `PATH` instead of superenv's.

         Your shell has been configured to use Homebrew's build environment;
         this should help you build stuff. Notably though, the system versions of
         gem and pip will ignore our configuration and insist on using the
         environment they were built under (mostly). Sadly, scons will also
         ignore our configuration.
         When done, type `exit'.
