Be warned that I haven't actually tried this, and you may need a 4.0 .cfg file to get the includes right, but I'm convinced it could be made to work, and quite slickly too.
While the eu.cfg file concept does not create file associations in windows, it's very easy to set up. First, it's a plain text file, so you don't need to use the clunky windows environment variable editor, nor mess with your registry. Also, you can set up a file in the directory where your program is, so that you can use different library locations for different applications if you need to (important if certain programs rely on a particular version of a file).
You can specify anything in the file that can be passed as a flag to the interpreter / translator / binder that can be passed on the command line. Also, any changes are immediate, since it is read whenever you execute euphoria, meaning that you don't have to start a new shell or log out before your changes take effect.
