In my online research, I was finding limits more like 1024 or 2048 characters maximum. But if 32767 bytes is the real limit, and there are no compatibility issues with certain programs for values longer than 1024 characters, that would be great.

And then if some of those builds aren't self-contained, you could add in dependencies like OpenSSL, libjpeg, libpng, etc. It seems like all those PATH entries could easily end up overflowing Windows' limit on the length of PATH.
Seriously? 32,767 bytes maximum in an environment variable. If you blow that then I suggest installing all those packages somewhere nearer the filesystem root!
