For lack of familiarity with the Windows world, I don't know if typical
Windows users will want to add it to PATH (as a GNU/Linux user, of
course I'd do that), but I think the "frequently" above is incorrect.

The way Elisp files are compiled by package.el is to do it in the
running Emacs rather than by executing a separate Emacs session, AFAIK.

And even if you configure it to use something like async.el, doesn't
(expand-file-name invocation-name invocation-directory) let async.el find
an Emacs executable even when it's not in PATH?
