Re: Emacs and Windows PATH variable

Hi

I usually do a `(setenv "PATH" (concat (getenv "PATH")
";C:\\my-path\\to-something;")`
when I want emacs to recognize a new path. I actually have this in my
init file itself as I use cmd rarely and have done most of PATH
customization by doing the above trick and setting the `exec-path'
variable.
