Presumably
    PATH "epicsdir1;epicsdir2;%PATH%"
will also work (seems to be OK for me), i.e. I just need to add quotes
around the whole generated argument.

I prefer using the slightly shorter PATH command, which also makes it
easier for a human to see at first glance that it's adjusting the PATH
instead of setting some other variable whose name just begins with PATH.

Done — thanks,
