Huuuu???? It is there since *AGES*!!!

...
   path [--w32mode=user|admin] [add|remove]
       On Unix adds or removes symlinks for binaries, man pages, and info
       pages in the directories specified by the respective options (see
       above).

       On Windows, the registry part where the binary directory is added or
       removed is determined in the following way:

       .....
       If the user does not have admin rights, and the option "--w32mode" is
       given, it must be user and the user path will be adjusted. If a user
       without admin rights uses the option "--w32mode admin" a warning is
       issued that the caller does not have enough provileges.

   postaction [--w32mode=user|admin] [--fileassocmode=1|2] [--all]
       [install|remove] [shortcut|fileassoc|script] [pkg]...
       Carry out the postaction "shortcut", "fileassoc", or "script" given as
       the second required argument in install or remove mode (which is the
       first required argument), for either the packages given on the command
       line, or for all if "--all" is given.

        ....

If not, then please take a look at

Best wishes
