The gdal packages from gisinternals.com sets this variable when you 
start the SDKShell.bat to open a command window. The variable gets 
destroyed when the cmd window is closed.
OSGEO4W does the same, setting the path to its own location.

You could do the same, either in your application or in a bat arround 
it. For the first choice, you could restore the path variable when you 
exit your application.
