The LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable is used by the Cygwin
function
dlopen () as a list of directories to search for .dll files to
load. This
environment variable is converted from Windows format to UNIX
format when a
Cygwin process first starts. Most Cygwin applications do not make
use of
the dlopen () call and do not need this variable.
No.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is used by dlopen ().
PATH is one of the locations searched by Windows when starting
applications, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7d83bc18.aspx
