My earlier message was wrong, addpath is used by setting a variable first:
{{{
set _path=%OSGEO4W_ROOT%bin
call %OSGEO4W_ROOT%\bin\addpath.bat _path
set _path=
}}}
I'm not sure why the author uses that method when passing the actual
desired path would be more straightforward, from a user's point of view.
However as I don't understand everything the file does I'm not going to
mess with it just yet.
The above is now part of pkg-shell v 1.0.0-9, which has been tested and
works on my machine. I promoted it to regular use. More testing and
feedback welcome.
cheers,
