Code review request: 7152671, RFE: Windows decoder should add some std dirs to the symbol search path

[Kelly O'Hair]

You are modifying the search path (PATH?) for the VM process? Doesn't that impact the entire process?
And doesn't it impact more than just pdb files being found?

Sorry for sticking my nose in here, but something tells me this needs a wider review than just the hotspot team.
