tools modules add the path in which the underlying tool was found, if
one was found (thus the JDK, for instance).  but it seems unlikely all
of those should have been added unless your system has all of 32/64 bit
msys, 32/64bit cygwin, and stuff installed through Chocolatey.

So  it  seems like something is letting additional paths sneak in to
ENV['PATH']
