It is impossible to add a library path on the Windows PCB build
because you have to restart, and it turns
in to dog-chasing-its-tail exercise.  It is not as simple as just
getting rid of this start-up annoyance,
as they are related.

My Windows PostScript printing patch needs applied from the Tracker to
get reliable PS output under Windows.
GhostView/GhostScript under windows are far more picky than the
Linux/Unix versions.
The patch should get more test time under Linux, to make sure nothing
broke because of it, but I know it works fine under Windows.

I did not note that problem with the build I did a few months ago.
