cygwin's find

One problem I've found with putting cygwin\bin on the path is that it occasionally overlaps with some other command on the path. I had this happened with find and didn't realize that Windows had its own find command that was taking precedence, until I found this.

It seems that the only way around the problem is to fully qualify the path to cygwin\bin\find, which isn't a terrible solution, just inconvenient. At least now I can use a proper UNIX find on Windows.
