Although CoJaBo is correct that this is one way to tidy up
your autoexec.bat, it still is valid point of discussion
about the way "include" uses search paths.

For example, I have C:\EUINC folder in which I store 3rd party
libraries and others that I have written. To organise these, 
I do have some of these in subfolders. It would be useful to
be able to tell Euphoria to automatically scan these subfolders
(but in which order?) without having me manually update
autoexec.bat (or equivalent) from time to time.
