I don't have to change the PATH with my setup, I just do an effective change
root command. I use all cygwin tools with the mingw32 compiler/binutils set
and giving the appropriate paths to the appropriate environment variables. I
have never ever, as I'm sure that Mumit hasn't either, had a conflict of
headers and libraries. Keep the two sets separated in there own world and you
won't have a problem.
BTW: This setup allows me to install a snapshot for testing without disturbing
what I know already works.
