Of course, you now have non-portable HDL build system. Personally, I'd look into a solution where when you check into/out of SVN, a file is created with the SVN version info. You can then use Quartus to parse that file, and there is no need to worry about SVN being in the path for Quartus.

I'm using windows XP. I did go to control panel, but I couldn't add anything to PATH because I need adm access, which is going to take some time since IT services are slow.

Adding the PATH from control panel won't have the problem you mentioned?
