make --win32 incorrectly handles PATH

You could try something like
export PATH := $(PATH):$(EXTRA_PATH)
in your makefile.
I would expect that to do the right thing in unixy mode -- not having
the extra space and exporting the changed value to a subprocesses.
Whether that will actually make it to %PATH% under Win32 I have no idea,
and unfortunately can't test right now...
Using the above in a recursive make may cause your $PATH to get awfully
long. It could make a difference if you have a long path of unreachable
network shares, or because you might overflow the environment space.
Hope this helps,
