This has been there for many years; the else part should only be used
if you are compiling with overrides. Using the scripts in cm3/scripts,
ROOT will always be defined then. I cannot really explain what is going
wrong with the given information; it may be your installation is
broken, or maybe Jay Krell has accidentally changed something with his
attempt to use only relative paths for Windows environments. The command
line above seems to indicate that you are _not_ using overrides, so
m3bundle should be expected in e.g. /usr/local/cm3/bin/m3bundle.
