Use //d/ instead of d:/ in your PATH. Your PATH looks very confusing
otherwise as : is used as the field separator.

Of course, //d/ support is going to be phased out in favour of using
mount points. So use:

  mkdir /d
  mount d: /d

Then your PATH would just need to include /d/fsf/emacs-19.34/bin
