Problem executing batch files from the Windows command prompt

Hi,
Since I installed cygwin on a PC and I try to execute a bat file from the Windows command prompt (system32\cmd.exe), it does not work as expected.
mkmf.bat is located in C:\tools\bin
environment variable path=C:\tools\bin
From a different directory, if I type:
mkmf
It works fine.
Now if I change the path variable to path=C:\tools\bin;C:\cygwin\bin
and I type
mkmf
I have an error message saying:
Cannot find executable in PATH
and if I type
mkmf.bat
I get the following error message:
Cannot execute /cygdrive/c/tools/bin/mkmf.bat
Can someone explain me what is happening? It is like if when the cygwin bin directory is added to the PATH variable, cygwin would have some kind of hooks on the Windows command prompt. I do not understand what is happening...
Thank you,
Olivier Langlois
