From standard cmd, the unquoted original works just fine. If doing so in cygwin, however, you must quote the value and remove set:

INCLUDE="C:\deps\libpng-1.6.8;C:\deps\openssl-1.0.1e\include"

In Windows cmd:

c:\>set INCLUDE=C:\deps\libpng-1.6.8;C:\deps\openssl-1.0.1e\include

c:\>echo %INCLUDE%
C:\deps\libpng-1.6.8;C:\deps\openssl-1.0.1e\include

...in cygwin:

[user@machine /]> INCLUDE="C:\deps\libpng-1.6.8;C:\deps\openssl-1.0.1e\include"
[user@machine /]> echo $INCLUDE
C:\deps\libpng-1.6.8;C:\deps\openssl-1.0.1e\include
