He suggested adding the Cygwin bin to PATH: you have to find it; does not matter
where it exists, run:

	$ find /proc/cygdrive/?/ -name cygwin1.dll

or a global Windows search on My Computer/This PC/Cortana/etc.

If you read the problem report, the issue is that the Travis provided
Git-for-Windows AKA Git-Bash AKA MSYS2/Cygwin Git/Bash/cygwin1.dll are installed
where its cygwin1.dll can be found via the path, but the shell child processes
are running using a different version of cygwin1.dll via the path, possibly
after installing new packages using a package manager like chocolatey or pacman.

Try running:

	$ which -a cygwin1.dll

and maybe:

	$ cygpath -alpw "$PATH"

to see what is active, and delete whichever installation is redundant.
