If you want changes to be persistent, look into either the "Setx" tool
or "Pathman" tool, both from the Windows resource kit.

But, I wouldn't bother going to all that trouble.  Cygwin sets its path
in /etc/profile -- as long as /bin (aka /usr/bin) is ahead of $PATH
(which is Windows' path), Cygwin should be happy since it will always
find its version of things.  You can check this with "echo $PATH" from a
cygwin prompt, but /bin (and possibly /usr/sbin, /usr/local/bin, etc.)
should all be at the head of the list.

Why are you compiling bintools anyway?  There's a package you know...
