I've released a 1.0.1 version of the tool which fixes the issues
below. It will take a bit for it to appear on "gem update", but it
should be there within the hour.

Also see my comments inline below.

Not sure why it removed C:\swig, are you sure the directory exists?

Duplicate removal should work correctly now.

path_editor will reflect the path that comes up when you open "My
Computer | Properties | Advanced | Environment Variables " and select
the "Path" variable under "System Variables". If you have added paths
to your local prompt (by modifying the PATH environment variable,
etc), path_editor will not see them. It works with the persisted path
that Windows stores for you.
