[FWTools] PATH Variable set by FWTools Windows Installer

[Even Rouault]

Helmut,

The regular FWTools distribution doesn't seem to alter the User Variable 
Path for me. The path is just changed when you run "setfw.bat" . I 
suspect that what you observe is something specific to the QLandkarteGT 
0.16 installation

Best regards,

Even
