Actually, it doesn't matter _what_ shell you are using, you should use the form with the forward slashes and colon as separator. That is because it is not the shell, but TeX which will interpret the contents of the variable, and the new TeX binaries want the paths in UNIXMODE format, and with colons as separators. Therefore setenv TEXINPUTS ".:/dev/D/tex" would be correct under any shell (which uses setenv). Hope this isn't too confusing...
