Generally speaking, putting cygwin stuff in your Windows environment

I do that all the time. In fact I wouldn't live without it. There's no
problems with doing this.
Problems can arise, and when they do, they are particularly hard to
debug. It happened to me when trying to install gAim; it tried to load
the cygwin versions of DLLs with the same names as it was looking for,
and crashed on startup. I think it is safest to keep cygwin out of your
Windows PATH.
