+That's about as simple as it gets; although it is possible to save exporting the NMI_PLATFORM and PATH each time.  This can be accomplished by adding them to the environment in a persistent manner; either by cygwin startup scripts or changing the Windows environment.  The latter will require a new instance of the cygwin terminal for the variables to be present.
