gswin2c doesn't need to be in the PATH. gswin2c is in
D:\texlive\2013\tlpkg\tlgs\bin on my system and epstopdf.pl finds it
through a path relative to the perl script:
$GS = "$mydirname/../../../tlpkg/tlgs/bin/$GS";

$mydirname is set with dirname $0 and this gives the correct value
when epstopdf is called through the binary but not if perl directly
is used. 

So 
   epstopdf bild eps 
works fine but

  perl <full path>\epstopdf.pl bild.eps

gives an error that gswin2c is not found. 


Imho the original problem is somehow related to the specific eps. It
is probably broken.
