In my opinion: putting it in the PATH is a wise and sensible thing to do,
giving you access to all this excellent stuff. But (my recommendation would
be - others may differ): put it before the Windows command pathnames. There
are very few clashes (find, sort, a couple of others I think) and the Cygwin
interpretations are incomparably "better" (more useful, versatile,
informative, helpful).
