[CMake] cmake install overrode my PATH instead of appending to it

[Mark Jones]

Hi David,

I was using the latest installer that I downloaded from the cmake page:

http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.0-win32-x86.exe

I am using Windows XP SP3.

I have a relatively long PATH already.  Is your PATH very long on the system
that you tried to reproduce this on?  I wonder if that has anything to do
with it (maybe Windows tells it that it cannot append to the PATH and so it
replaces the PATH completely?).

Mark
