This is an interesting point.
Probably letting the user specify custom $PATH for quick commands (and save
current %PATH% as $ORIGINAL_PATH) may be the best choice.
The default can be %Cygwin%\bin:%PATH% or %PATH%:%Cygwin%\bin, I'm not very
concerned as long as it's explicit and customizable.
If anybody need a wrapper, they may write and use it by themselves.

(I already have one, written in TCC, working quite well.)
