Well, I can't really take out /sys, because that's my system32 folder, and I
doubt that Windows would boot if I did that. I umounted /sys and took ~/bin
out of my path, nothing's changed.

Here's another funny thing: "command -V" in Bash returns the NT find, while
cygcheck finds the right one. Aren't they supposed to find the same program,
following PATH? Here's what I'm talking about, along with some other output
to assist:

bono AT BOB ~
$ command -V find.exe
find.exe is /c/WINNT/system32/find.exe

bono AT BOB ~
$ cygcheck find.exe
Found: d:\cygwin\bin\find.exe
d:\cygwin\bin\find.exe
  d:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
    C:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll
      C:\WINNT\System32\NTDLL.DLL

Use -h to see help about each section

bono AT BOB ~
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/c/WINNT/system32:/c/WINNT:/c/WINNT/system32/WBEM:/prog/
Support Tools/:/prog/Resource Kit/:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/prog/Microsoft

bono AT BOB /bin
$ ls -l |grep find.exe
