question about cygwin.bat vs .bashrc

[Erik Weibust]

I was reading in the Cygwin users guide.  Specifically in section 2.2.

It mentions some env vars that can be set in the cygwin.bat: CYGWIN,
PATH, HOME, TERM, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

First, none were defined in my cygwin.bat.  Is that a problem?  There
weren't any env vars defined.  Second question, Is there any reason to
define the vars in cygwin.bat over my .bashrc?  I don't like the
behavior of the windows command window so I use putty to ssh into my
machine.

Thanks...
