Erik:
When building for 32bit with (at least) Visual Studio 2010, configure
may fail to run with the error:
configure: error: Target CPU mismatch. We are building for x86 but CL
is for "directory"; expected "80x86" or "x86"
This is caused by cl.exe failing to load mspdb100.dll, which in turn
is caused by configure throwing away the PATH extracted from the
Visual Studio setup script after finding the compilers. As I
understand it, cl.exe is not guaranteed to work unless the PATH is
actually setup correctly, so we should make sure to keep it correct in
configure. (In the makefiles, we already export this PATH).

Looks good to me.
