I'm not suggesting these just for other systems where defining these
environment variables can be difficult (obviously we're talking about
Windows).  Sometimes you only need those paths for a few minutes, a
very temporary thing -- it's just more convenient than writing the
commands to reflect it in the environment -- and it's not as
permanent.

Was talking about having a switch for executing Lua code before and
after the script you run -- does it execute it in order of the command
line arguments given?  -e 'before run code' script.lua -e 'after
script code' ?
