And, IMHO, should be avoided like the plague... Just my opinion.

Maybe when in Cygwin, /bin and /usr/bin should be put in your PATH ahead

my Windows System Environment PATH variable for years without issue 
(though I think some around here might say it's not a good idea).

I put contact lenses in my dog's eyes. They had little pictures of cats
