I was aware of that, but I don't think that INCLUDE is ever used on linux. Not 
only not for any existing project, but also gcc doesn't honor it. It can hardly 
be considered to be a 'standard' (useful) search path for *system* header files 
when the default compiler isn't even using that environment variable.

My guess was that this is more of a Windows(tm) thing. And indeed, Michelle 
just told me that on windows the command line compiler needs %INCLUDE% to 
function. So, I think that cmake searches PATH and INCLUDE because of 
Windows(tm). For example, Windows(tm) sets INCLUDE="C:\Program Files 
(x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\INCLUDE";"C:\Program Files\Microsoft 
SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Include".

However, this code is only run on linux, where INCLUDE is not used, and it 
might even be harmful to search in PATH for header files. Like I said before, 
it probably won't hurt in this case (it's unlikely that anyone has an 
executable installed in their PATH called 'tut/tut.hpp') but I don't consider 
it to be the right thing for linux.

That being said - in this particular case (for tut/tut.hpp) it will work just 
as fine with or without, so if that is a showstopper for Oz (or whoever has to 
add this patch) than I'd be ok with removing NO_SYSTEM_ENVIRONMENT_PATH and 
gambling that nothing will be found in PATH, instead of using the patch as-is: 
ignoring the "windows" INCLUDE on linux just like gcc ignores it.
