Yes, but I don't think that applies here.  The %PATH% I gave above is
the windows %PATH% for the SYSTEM user before starting a Cygwin process.
The FAQ says that /etc/profile will set my $PATH appropriately, and I
should be careful if I reset my $PATH in .bashrc or if I modify /etc/profile.
The is a default installation, so I have the default /etc/profile, and I
have not created any login configuration files for the SYSTEM account.
