Issue with mkdocs / cairocffi #1382

Description

I have some trouble using mkdocs because I run into this error using WinPython:
https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/plugins/requirements/image-processing/#troubleshooting
Problem seems to be cairocffi not finding the cairo library.

After some investigation I found that the cairo library is present at %WINPYDIR%\Lib\site-packages\wx.

Furthermore I found out that cairocffi supports an environment variable CAIROCFFI_DLL_DIRECTORIES.
I thought setting this in env.bat would fix the problem but it did not. I added it to PATH as well. This did work.
