It works either way.  I have Windows XP and the same PATH entry and it 
works.

Windows doesn't care if you put multiple backslashes in a row, e.g., this 
works:

dir "C:\Program Files\\\\\\\TortoiseHg\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"

(although it *is* picky about only a single one after the colon, at least on 
XP)
