First, is this a problem with bash or with the DOS prompt. If its bash, you
should not be afraid to define a path in /etc/profile or wherever that is
strictly for use with bash and friends and doesn't have pointers to any other
utilities that might conflict with Cygwin. If the issue is that you're using
the DOS prompt, then your comments make some sense but I fail to see how the
path could change to the UNIXy paths if you're in a DOS prompt.

If you insist on putting WINNT and friends in your path, list them last!
This is clearly a configuration issue so you're going to need to play
around with things to get them how you want them. If you just want
something that works, follow the recommendations and set up your path for
bash appropriately.
