"cmd /c blah.bat"

Yes.  The environment changes made in the batch files won't be visible in
the shell that executed them.  If you run something from the batch file
itself, though, you'll see the environment changes.

If all your batch file does are "set"s (and maybe "rem"s), a simple sed
script should produce something that can easily be "eval"ed.  If you want
something more complex, you're basically on your own...
