When I say "environment", I mean it in the generic sense; including
working-directory.

However, best practise is to keep /etc/crontab as minimal as possible,
and to set up environ(7) within the invoked script-file.
Security-wise, you should just keep PATH in /etc/crontab to the
standard, and invoke your script with:
* * * * * user /path/to/my/script

This is especially important when running as root.

Cheers.
