Alternatively, put the following in your emacs init file if you don't feel
like patching the originally find-dired.el. this also work for igrep.el
(if (or emacs-nt xemacs-nt)
(let ((cygwin (concat environment_home "\\cygwin\\bin")))
(setenv "PATH" (concat cygwin ";" (getenv "PATH")))))
if your setup don't have emacs-nt, xemacs-nt, or environment_home defined,
try:
(let ((cygwin "e:\\cygwin\\bin"))
(setenv "PATH" (concat cygwin ";" (getenv "PATH"))))
