Fix for cygwin.bat multi-word path problem

Cygwin failed with errors:
Too many parameters
Command not found
The problem is that the Windows PATH had "...;C:\Program Files\...",
and the SET PATH in cygwin.bat choaked on the space.
A fix is to put double quotes around "%PATH%".
Also, the FAQ discussion of cygwin.bat should be changed to reflect this.
This applies to the latest online release (i don't know the number).
Would some developer please make this fix?
Thanks in advance...
