Andrey, good catch.  My system %PATH% did indeed include C:\cygwin\bin.

So I removed that, and restarted fish.  Good news:  the system mount points
are right again - they point into C:\Cygwin64, not C:\Cygwin.  That's a
relief!

Bad news: the PATH problem is back.  When I run 

C:\cygwin64\bin\fish.exe -l 

I get the same error messages as before on startup, and PATH doesn't
include /bin /usr/bin /sbin /usr/sbin.

How are /bin /usr/bin etc. normally added to the PATH?  I don't see any
logic to do it in /usr/share/fish/config.fish.

Andrew
