That's explain that I felt, as the child process was inheriting from the parent environment everytime but not non-cygwin DLLs introduced through the LD_PRELOAD in these child process... Is there a flag or a way to enable environment variable to be propaged throught the Win32 environment as done before on 1.5.18-x or do I have to use  DECLARE_CYGWIN_DLL(Entry) & other mechanisms for having my DllMain called as I do specifics initializations for processes & threads.  but that's means compiling all my source containing also assembler & lot of specifics things under gcc :(

Or do this code will help me for having Cygwin environment variables propagated & set in my MSVC dll loaded throught LD_PRELOAD ? by calling the code below is the child process will have his Win32 environment settings set correctly & "retrievable" through GetEnvironmentString() & other Win32 std apis?
Or should I have also to call throught getprocaddress() (after having called LoadLibrary on cygwin1.dll) some cygwin C std methods like getenv() for retrieving cygwin environment variables without porting my code under gcc & staying with microsoft dev studio 2003 ?

HMODULE h = LoadLibrary("cygwin1.dll");
void (*init)() = GetProcAddress(h, "cygwin_dll_init");
init();

thx in advance for your future answers,
Louis
