Well, PATH is the environment variable that tells where to look for
binaries. You can use either:

        set PATH=<some-dir>;%PATH%

to add elements to it, or the System Setting, though I don't remember
exactly what to click there.

After you do that, verify that running "g++" works, then run bjam.
