Yes. I always recommend it.  However, you don't have to change the
PATH at the DOS/WIN level.  You can `export
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/c/winnt:/c/winnt/system32' for an
example in the .bashrc file.

This way you can have the best of both worlds.  cygwin path first when
in cygwin and the dos/win path first when in dos or windows.
