twice is ok, the path is checked for opengl and xinfinity-support...

duh. it really *should* be fine when you add the path to xinfinity to the front of your PATH, unless windows is *even weirder* than i thought... Microsoft's official stance on DLL Hell seems to be to deliver DLLs with your program, possibly placing it into the same directory as your application. The latter seems rather inconvenient for xinf apps... So we need a way to point windows at the right directory; i dont know how this could be done any other way..
