That's because it is used by vagrant, to mount your local Koha clone as an
NFS filesystem (we could use Virtualbox's folder sharing driver, but it is
painfully slow). We should extend this to more options (LXC containers?).

Yeah, that's on my TODO. Basically, we need to use that env var to control
wether to clone from the ansible script or not. Currently, it is assumed
that the clone exists.

We should try. The main issue with the current Vagrantfile would be the
fixed IP (needed for the NFS thing only). Maybe we could just define a
different one for each vm definition (jessie, wheezy, etc). The port
mapping should be handled that way too, to avoid collision.

Magnus' branch currently lets you specify an SQL file to be loaded. That's
on the TODO list too, the same for another feature Magnus implemented:
controlling wether to load the shipped default data, or let the user go
through the webinstaller.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm sending a pull request to Chris Hall for
koha-gitify to take care of the new plack.psgi file paths.
