Could /etc/profile please also add /cygdrive/c/Windows/Sysnative to
the end of the PATH?

It doesn't add any other Windows folders so why this one.
### Summary
Why should Cygwin add Sysnative to $PATH? As a workaround for
Microsoft's failure to add Sysnative to %PATH%.
### Full explanation
Cygwin imports the Windows %PATH% variable at startup.
It would be ideal if Microsoft would add Sysnative to the default
Windows %PATH%. Such a change would help Cygwin users and others. But
I doubt that Microsoft will make this change.
Therefore, I am suggesting that Cygwin work around Microsoft's omission.
My suggested workaround is for Cygwin to add Sysnative to its own
$PATH, automatically.
