Suggestion for the Cygwin developers:
What about a file in /etc that contains contain environmental variables
that sets cygwin-specific variables and overrides anything in Windows'
environment?
It would also make it possible to clone an installation by
copying - no need to modify the environment.
See https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-01/msg00977.html
Sorry, I'm not a coder and cannot contribute a developer a cannot
propose a path.
As previously: "Just a suggestion, not a request."
Best wishes,
- Barry
