Comment(by maphew):

 This pattern is successful, after replacing the call to `findstr` in
 `addpath` with an absolute path (`%windir%\system32\findstr.exe`):

 {{{
 set _save=%path%
 set path=%pythonpath%
 set _add=%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\orfeotoolbox\python

 call addpath _add

 set path=%_save%
 set _save=
 set _add=
 }}}

 Wordy though. I'm tempted to try and re-work addpath to allow a parameter
 of variable-name or raw string.

 In any case the python package doesn't set PYTHONPATH, only PYTHONHOME, so
 the only thing I/we can do is chart out a course for package maintainers
 to follow.
