And that would be your problem. Make sure your path is set, either in the
Windows environment, 'cygwin.bat', or '/etc/profile' and friends. Generally,
the path is set in the Windows environment and appended to in '/etc/profile'.
The path from '/etc/profile' is used by 'bash' and contains all the Cygwin
paths you need to run. It would seem that you're clobbering the path out
of existence with some local setting.
