first time setup on cygwin with strawberry also installed picks up wrong patch executable, leading to an endless loop #145

I get:

Press SPACE and ENTER to disable patch
Press SPACE and ENTER to disable patch
Press SPACE and ENTER to disable patch
Press SPACE and ENTER to disable patch

The executable it finds is:

/cygdrive/c/Strawberry/c/bin/patch
$ patch --version
patch 2.5.9
[...]

I can workaround this locally by installing cygwin's patch package.

/usr/bin/patch
$ patch --version
GNU patch 2.7.4
[...]

However i think the first time setup should recognize that the patch it found is not the one it needs, whether this happens due to matching the version string, or by rejecting any patch that is in /cygdrive.
