Oh, hmm, I just found that /cygwin.bat does *not* set $PATH.  And I was
so sure it does... at least mine does when starting tcsh.   And as the
login shell in an ssh session it gets a valid $PATH anyway.

Otherwise $path is (correctly) set in /etc/csh.login, but which is
sourced *after* sourcing /etc/csh.cshrc.  This is rather unfortunate.
I'm wondering if I should just compile tcsh with the LOGINFIRST flag
set, which turns around the order in which cshrc and login files are
sourced...
