Re: net release setup.exe

Starting with the "net release", you should be able to set
your env vars in $ROOT/bin/cygwin.bat. That way you will
not need to change system env var stuff like autoexec.bat.
Of course you can still set this stuff in system locations,
it is up to you. The nice thing about cygwin.bat is that
those settings only apply to cygwin.
