Given the number of problems that seem to crop up with people on the
cygwin mailing list, I was wondering if it made sense to have cygwin
probe the path list looking for the directory which is essentially
"/bin" and put this directory first in the PATH.
Finding this directory might be tricky, of course. Especially if
someone has more than one cygwin installation on their hard disk.
However, we could even issue a warning if no cygwin 'bin' directory
was found.
This could be defeatable by something like CYGWIN=nopathreorg .
Thoughts?
