This is definitely going to cause confusion, if not other problems.
I suggest you maintain a simpler PATH variable, and change it for
particular applications.

THis is an excellent case for using different PATH settings for the
two different projects.

When you have 2 keys, mtn doesn't know which one to use, so it is
almost as bad as having no keys. You need to specify which one to use,
using --key. I believe that is cached in the workspace _MTN/options.
Although that should be the same between Cygwin and MinGW versions.
