Comment:

 In general, it is best to avoid polluting the System Path with stuff that
 is likely to conflict (as some components of the GTK+ runtime are likely
 to do).  It would cause all sorts of problems for other programs if we did
 this.

 The best thing to do would be for the TiEmu installer to add an AppPath
 (or to make the launcher not depend on GTK+ and fix the path at runtime
 (like what pidgin does)).
