Take control of your own environment.Every time you open up mintty you are starting a new login bash. The way to set environment variables "persistently" (your term, not mine) is to add the export command to your .bash_profile or similar bash file read by bash when it starts up. This is not specific to cygwin, but is normal Unix-like behavior.
I've workarounded it adding the desired path to windows' path directly, which is imported into cygwin each time mintty is started.
