Review Request: Quote paths with whitespaces in kdeenv

Hi,
I am having the strange setup that i have Visual Studio installed in the 
default Path but want to use MinGW, this produced errors in kdeenv.bat 
like "Microsoft was unexpected at this time". Which is apparently a Problem 
with Quotations because %PATH% is not equal to "%PATH%". When I looked what 
was done in the msvc part of kdeenv..bat i noticed that instead of % ! is 
used to mark environment variables.

So i applied that to the mingw parts and everything worked fine, my problem is 
I have no idea what the exclamation mark means and i don't want to commit 
anything I do not understand.  

So attached is the Patch for kdeenv.bat to use ! for Path but I did not find 
any good documentation on the difference, so please tell me if it is ok to 
commit that change.

Greetings 
Andre
