Yes, but...   Don't let speed override correctness.  This is particularly 
critical for Cygwin users since may override many windows functions.
I don't put D:\cygwin\bin in my windows path for that very reason.  If I do,
I usually add it at the end of the path, even though that's slower.  
I am primarily a Windows user, and I don't want to mess up my Windows 
programs and scripts.  If I need real Cygwin power, I use the bash shell
with a Cygwin-first path.
