Personally I have only the Cygwin bin path which points to the
base package (including cygwin1.dll!) in my system environment
as last entry:

	PATH="...:D:\Cygwin\bin"

In my global profiles (bash: /etc/profile, tcsh: /etc/csh.login)
I set PATH so that it contains all my important bin paths at the
beginning:

	export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:$PATH"

or

	set path = ( /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /bin $path )

I have good experiences with that strategy.
