I've never done that but that does seem plausible. (I'm always trying for
minimal installations.)

That sounds correct, now that I know the background. But I can't recall ever
having to set PATH explicitly for Cygwin though. It's just worked.
I guess it's time to request the standard problem solving data as described on

cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out
then including that cygcheck.out file *as an attachment* on a reply to this
email.
