What Csaba said. Also, MSYS's bin directory does appear in there
(/cygdrive/c/msys/1.0/bin), but Cygwin's is before it, so that's fine.
Hence, as mentioned before, you need to check whether you do actually
have Cygwin's vi and make installed, e.g. using the 'which' command.

For further installation questions, please provide the cygcheck output
requested at http://cygwin.com/problems.html.
