Thanks,
Sure, I could use setx, but this changes the environment variable on my maschine i.e. in every
new shell I open, but not the current one. I guess that is not even possible using a normal
e.g. C++ program.

Agreed with Jan. If you want to modify permanently the environment
variables of Windows machines, one of the tools you
can use is VBS. I think you will find articles about which API calls to
use to do this in VBS.
Ant can kick off a VBS script if you do
<exec executable="wscript.exe">
<arg value="full path to vbs file"/>
</exec>

Antoine
