Sould . (current dir) be in the PATH

[Morten Kjarulff <MKJ at dk dot ibm dot com>]

Hi,

I just discovered that . (current directory) is in my PATH. I installed
cygwin on my new laptop some weeks ago. I don't think . was in my PATH on
my old PC. First I thought it came from my windows PATH, but it does not.

Is . normally in the PATH (it was not on a few solaris systems I just
checked, but that does not prove anything).

It is even twice in my PATH, as the last entry, and just after
/cygdrive/c/Infoprint.

D:\mkj\bin>type cygwin.bat
@rem 2004-Dec-10 09:36:01 MKJ Based on cygwin.bat from installation

@rem Make sure we are in a new windows shell
@if X%BEENHERE% == XBEENHERE goto :BEENHERE
@%COMSPEC% /c set BEENHERE=BEENHERE ^& %0 %*
@exit /b %ERRORLEVEL%
:BEENHERE
@set BEENHERE=

@rem Where is CYGWIN installed
@set MYCYGWINROOT=D:\cygwin

@rem Set HOME
@set HOME=%MKJPATH%\mkj

@rem Start up command
@set MYCYGWINARG=
@if not X%1 == X (
  set MYCYGWINARG=-c "eval \"$MYCYGWINCMD\""
  set MYCYGWINCMD=%*
)

@rem Set options
@set CYGWIN=
@rem Ctrl-C does not perculate to cmd.exe if 'tty' is set
@rem X2 traps if 'tty' is set
@rem @set CYGWIN=tty

@rem Pretent we are CHERE, to avoid changing to HOME dir
@set CHERE_INVOKING=Y

@rem Now go
@%MYCYGWINROOT%\bin\bash -l %MYCYGWINARG%
