vimrc

I'm running portable python and portable gvim. When I run gVimPortable, I want it to append python to the PATH environment variable. This is the command I would run in a command prompt:

path=%path%;C:\portable\PortablePython_1.1_py2.5.4

Is there a way to automate this in the vimrc file or some other way?
