The new "Getting Started" Dave is writing for the 1.34 release (using 
BBv2) does precisely that 

And for historical records, we managed to find the problem and solution 
to the spawn problem on Windows a short time ago during an IRC session. 
It turns out that it's an OS "bug". If your PATH environment variable is 
"very long" it causes failures on searching through the path to fail in 
this context. The "solution" is to  shorten the PATH, for example by 
using 8.3 names.

HTH.
