Every time you open up mintty you are starting a new login bash.
The way to set environment variables "persistently" (your term,
not mine) is to add the export command to your .bash_profile or
similar bash file read by bash when it starts up. This is not
specific to cygwin, but is normal Unix-like behavior.
I've workarounded it adding the desired path to windows' path
directly, which is imported into cygwin each time mintty is started.
That's not really a good solution. Take a moment to read the bash(1) man
page and familiarize yourself with it's startup capabilities. Take
control of your own environment.
