well i think i can safely say that what they intended to do was get it out
- and now they are taking the time to get the source ordered and cleaned
up.

set syspath=(path with wildcards)
And automatically, the OS would also make a PATH environment, either with
full expansion, or first match expansion. Optionally, NOT have the OS do
anything, and you use the commands:
setex path=syspath \\ blows up every match
setnx path=syspath \\ only includes first match.
Of course you realize that this would still be a buster, there'll soon
crop up people crying, 'I have a 2k environment and it won't hold my full
path!' thanks to full processing of wildcards, ie syspath=c:*;
