Could you set MSBUILDLOCATION as environment variable? Would this be then acknowledged by VS.NET and Team Foundation Build Server?

One of the scenarios I like to achieve is to build LINQ code from VS.NET 2005. Because VS.NET uses MSBUILD to complie code abbility to swithc MSBUILD would allow me to "upgrade" BCL without upgradeing VS.NET itself.

So the question is how to tell VS.NET and Team Foundation Server which MSBUILD to use. Could MSBUILDLOCATION environment variable be used for this?
