### Summary

Why should Cygwin add Sysnative to $PATH?  As a workaround for 
Microsoft's failure to add Sysnative to %PATH%.

### Full explanation

Cygwin imports the Windows %PATH% variable at startup.

It would be ideal if Microsoft would add Sysnative to the default 
Windows %PATH%.  Such a change would help Cygwin users and others.  But 
I doubt that Microsoft will make this change.

Therefore, I am suggesting that Cygwin work around Microsoft's omission. 
  My suggested workaround is for Cygwin to add Sysnative to its own 
$PATH, automatically.
