Not adding the path at all is the current behavior in the windows
installer.  Given the choice between making the path explode due to too
many characters and leaving the binary off the path (but still having it
work with LilyPad), the choice to leave it off seems reasonable.

But appropriate patches to the Windows installer (part of GUB) would
certainly be gratefully considered.

Thanks,
