Description

The build script fails giving the following error when it is run a number of times on a single command shell.

The input line is too long.
The syntax of the command is incorrect.

This happens as a result of vcvars32 getting called a number of time. vcvars32 appends its contents to PATH every time it gets called and after some number of times, the value of PATH becomes so long that the Windows command line environment can not handle it. The number of characters that can be entered into a single command is limited to 8191. We should have a mechanism to make it such that vcvars32 gets called only onces for a given command shell.
