Maybe this will help:

C:\home\holger>which.cmd python.exe
Found in PATH: C:\Developer\Python\python.exe

Of course then someone will have a completely unrelated binary named
"erl.exe" in their path.. If no erl.exe is found and no ERLANG_HOME is set
the script can still error out.

happy .bat hacking :)
