There exists two (undocumented?) environment variables in OS/2 that will
let you change the LIBPATH on the fly.  They are BEGINLIBPATH and ENDLIBPATH.
They only change the behavior of LIBPATH for the duration of that command
window.  What you can do is modify your CONFIG.SYS like the following:

rem LIBPATH=.;C:\OS2;...
SET ENDLIBPATH=.;C:\OS2;...

This will late you modify the entire LIBPATH whenever you want.  Added bonus
that installation programs now can no longer mess with your LIBPATH.
