Nobody else seems to care :-)

My reasoning is that I don't want to make people change their setups in
future. The should just be able to set up buildenv.pl now and continue
to use it even when I've fixed the .bat files next release.

Writing and calling a temp .bat file might be yucky - having to keep two
environment files is a lot more yucky, IMNSHO, and we shouldn't make
people do it.
