Originally, I was looking for something like 'cygpath' in it, but I was 
pleasantly surprised by the other solution:
OFFENDING_ENTRY="/cygdrive/c/ClearCase/bin"
PATH="`echo "$PATH" | sed "s#:$OFFENDING_ENTRY##"`"
I'm now modifying it to remove paths with 'Rational' in it. I'd rather 
not modify the original 'profile' if I can help it. Makes it easier to 
destroy cygwin and reinstall from scratch.
