Ah, but that won't work if you need to call the system() function,
which requires a single line .. perhaps

SET OCAMLLIB=xxx && ocamlc ...

will work with CMD.EXE?

I didn't mention .. the scripts are Python.. :)

I can use os.putenv() .. but that affects the current
process too. I can also pass the environment if I use

execle()

but that is a superior pain .. maybe i will have to write
an env.exe command for windows .. ;(
