When you have OemPreinstall=Yes, as we do, everything under $OEM$ gets
copied to the local drive.  $1 gets copied to %SystemDrive$, $$ gets
copied to SystemRoot, C gets copied to C:, and so on.  This is
independent of OemPnPDriversPath.

The only way we could avoid this copying would be to disable the
OemPreinstall mechanism and copy specific folders ourselves.  But that
would probably break the $OEM$/TEXTMODE mechanism.  So we would have
to leave OemPreinstall=Yes and tell people to put their drivers
somewhere else for us to copy.

I do not believe this would be worth the complexity.

For more precise control over just OemPnPDriversPath, you could write
some Perl code to generate it however you like.  But since PnP drivers
generally do not get installed unless they match the hardware, having
extra things in the driver path usually does no harm.
