### 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.

Adding sysnative, **incorrectly** would add 64-bit applications to
a 32-bit path. You are asking a non-windows environment, Cygwin, that in
order to be POSIX compatible, it should add a windows path? Name ONE other
unix or posix platform that does this by default.
