append_path fails on Solaris, breaks mingw install

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
winetricks -v mingw ; winetricks -v mingw ; winetricks -v mingw

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
+ printf
C:\MinGW\bin;C:\MinGin;C:\MinGin;C:\windows\system32;C:\windows;C:\windows\syste
m32\wbem\\"

notice that the original path's are okay, only one's winetricks added get
screwed up. The backslashes aren't being preserved, and are instead being
treated as escape characters. Presumably bad quoting somewhere, but I can't
find where...

Fixed now, but Solaris is screwed up (it's echo is botchy).

Now just need you to write the perl script ;-).

Maybe that can wait for some Solaris winetricks user to contribute a patch
that replaces our use of echo there with a perl script...

How about we put a note in there on solaris, so people know it's broken?
