Cygwin's /bin should be in your PATH when you run any Cygwin program.  If
you want to run Cygwin programs from outside of the Cygwin environment
(i.e., from a command prompt or a batch file), make sure your Windows
system PATH contains c:\cygwin\bin (appropriately modified if you didn't
install Cygwin into c:\cygwin).  It's a matter of debate on whether this
directory should precede the Windows system directories or follow them --
this heavily depends on whether you use the Windows tools from your
command line or batch files...  Personally, I tack on c:\cygwin\bin to the
end of the Windows PATH, and use the command prompt as little as possible. :-)
HTH,
