What I do is have a batch file I call before executing any dos commands 
(sort of a ".dosrc"), and in that I set my dos path. So for example I have a 
bash function "dos" that looks like this:

function dos() { local s=/c; if [ "$1" == "" ]; then s=/k; fi; cmd $s 
"%ETC%\login &" $*; }

... where %ETC%\login.bat is my ".dosrc" file. This enables me to say to 
bash, "dos" and get a dos prompt, or "dos foo" and execute foo in a dos 
context. LIkewise for things such as shortcuts to cmd.exe, I use "cmd.exe /k 
%ETC%\login".

I know this is not exactly what you're looking to do but perhaps something 
similar might work in your case.
