Incomplete environ when running MinGW apps?

They're not my variables. I've written an app which runs on Linux and 
"Windows". Most of the time on "Windows", it's probably going to be 
running on Cygwin/bash. However, there's always going to be someone who 
runs it in a DOS box.

So, my problem is, how do I find out if they've got a sane shell or not? 
I can't ask them to export SHELL; I might as well just ask them to 
provide a command-line arg to tell me what their shell is anyway. I need 
some automatic way to do it.

Thanks
