       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.

    Summary: Provide property for cvs binary
       Type: Improvement

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.
