Uhm... in theory, there should be at least "/bin" somewhere in $PATH.
The reason is that `cygrunsrv' appends ":/bin" to $PATH prior to
calling the service application (sshd) to assure that cygwin1.dll is
found in $PATH.
Other than that you can use the ability of cygrunsrv to set environment
variables also to set $PATH:
cygrunsrv -I sshd ... -e "PATH=/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:..."
Just don't forget to add all Windows system paths, too.
