Visual Studio (Express) comes with a batch file that sets a lot of
environment variables besides PATH. You can run luarocks from within the
"Visual Studio 1x.0 Command Prompt" you'll find in your Start-Menu, or
*maybe* (I haven't tested) `call` the batch file from within your
`luarocks.bat`, to set the necessary variables.

It doesn't work at the moment, because it isn't used consistently. There is
local version_string = io.popen('git --version'):read()
in fetch/git.lua:15! Until this is fixed you need `git.exe` in your PATH.
