When invoking mach from an msys2 set-up outside of mozilla-build, I need to have the following in my mozconfig to avoid a bunch of cygwin errors during configure:

export PATH="/c/mozilla-build/msys2/usr/bin:$PATH"

We even have a warning for when this directory is not in the PATH, but it's not enough for it to be in the PATH, it has to be at the beginning of the path.

Maybe this could be done automatically?

This makes sure that we find the right tools in the right msys2
environment in case we get called from another msys2 env.
