Body:
I vote against. I've never had such long PATHS on windows.
On Unices most user apps are in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin. And it's possible to work
out something similar on windows.
Put CVS and all your other helper applications in
C:\BIN\ and there you have a simple PATH entry that solves your problems, not only for
maven.
If needed, use links from C:\BIN\Myapp to real location or add specially crafted batch
files (for example some that may contain extended PATH information for some
applications). That will cut down your PATH size.

Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MPSCM-26
Summary: Provide property for cvs binary
Type: Improvement
Status: Open
Priority: Major
Original Estimate: Unknown
Time Spent: Unknown
Remaining: Unknown
Project: maven-scm-plugin
Assignee: Brett Porter

Description:
Please provide a property to set the cvs binary to be used: My PATH environment
variable contains nearly about 700 characters (more than 8 lines in the cmd window),
so I'd prefer not to add a path element for every helper application. I suggest to
temporarily add the path-to-cvs-binary during evaluation of the jelly script only if
the property is set.
