I am new to cygwin and need some assistance setting up environment
variables and paths. My main goal is to use various mysql commands
located in xamp\mysql\bin (like mysqldump and mysql). I could copy
them to /cygwin/bin/, but it would create duplicate files.

I would like to sync my production site with my development site on a
Windows XP machine on the command line. I am familiar with some unix
commands, yet do know how to set up my environment. The shell gives me
the following output.

bash: mysql.exe: command not found

This message appears even in the in /cygdrive/d/xampp/mysql/bin.
