Description

{surefire.forkNumber}

is supported in systemPropertyVariables property. It would be nice to have the same support in environmentVariables property.

Example when this may be needed:
I use Selenium web driver to start Firefox and run JUnit tests on it. To save time I run tests in parallel. But the problem is that some functionality only works when Firefox is in focus. So the solution after this improvement would be to pass different values for DISPLAY environment variable when using linux.
