PR 43906 complains that SetEnv PATH doesn't work: it gets explicitly
overridden by the environment. On reflection, it seems to me a
reasonable request to be able to set PATH for subrequests.
The current code ensures PATH is always set: is that really
necessary? Any reason not to remove it in trunk?

We should be a least consistent regarding LD_LIBRARAY_PATH and PATH.
IMHO it makes no sense that you can change one of them but not
the other. Either you are able to change both or for possible
security reasons none of them.
Currently I would lean to make both changeable.

I have sent email to the unsubscribe link on apache.org several times.
Yet, I still receive numerous emails that are cluttering my overcrowded

Can someone please help me to unsubscribe?
