The PATH variable for all users is set in /etc/profiles.
Just append your xamp/mysql/bin-Path there.

Or you could set it per user in [homedir]/.bashrc, using something like
PATH=/cygdrive/d/xamp/mysql/bin:$PATH

This is because "." is not in your PATH.
It will start when you enter "./mysql.exe" in your mysql/bin directory,
or if you add "." to your PATH.

HTH.
