I was referring to the procedure in general, and what looked like an 
important step to include.

So it looks like the terminal can find ssh and git, but not python. 
That's understandable, since we didn't use Cygwin to install Python. To 
tell Cygwin how to find Python, run the following command:
$ echo "PATH=\$PATH:/cygdrive/c/Python32" >> .bash_profile

I don't see any references to VS on that page so I don't know what 
you're referring to.
