Assuming your app is a native app (i.e. the answer to the above is 'no') then even if your app is run from a MSYS sh.exe it should still get a copy of PATH that uses colons, ...If you really meant what this says, then it's incorrect; [snip]
Right. Reading it myself, I think that must have been a typo. Replace 'colon' with 'semicolon' and it is correct AFAIK.
