----------------------------------------
Feature #16048: Type and provider for managing windows environment, especially 
PATH
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16048#change-96691

----------------------------------------
The windows system environment is stored in the registry. We should have a type 
and provider to make it easy to ensure present/absent individual entries.

In particular, PATH is one of the environment variables, which is actually a 
list of directories, each of which may refer to other environment variables, 
e.g. %WINDIR%\system32. It is currently difficult to express that a particular 
entry should be present in the PATH.

The type should allow the complete list of paths to be ensure present, or a set 
of paths to be added (similar to the inclusive/exclusive behavior of property 
lists).

There's also the issue of making the system PATH change take affect without 
rebooting.
