you are wrong here, no need for an output file to be sourced, you miss 
the eval statement which interpret the output of the awk script within 
the current shell. however, I've fixed a small bug here, it should be 
eval "$(...)" and not eval $(...).

as said before, only non existing variables are exported. however, I've 
added an array (override) of environment variables to override.

all windows variables are converted to cygwin ones using cygpath -u like 
translation within awk. however, I've added an array (nocygpath) of 
variables to not translate.

original TEMP variable :

TEMP="/cygdrive/c/Users/CYG_SE~1/AppData/Local/Temp"

yours (wrong) :

TEMP="/cygdrive/c/AppData/Local/Temp"

mine w/ override=TEMP :

TEMP="/cygdrive/c/Users/Cyrille/AppData/Local/Temp"

also, you don't handle ComSpec, nor Path and windir upper case 
conversion as cygwin does and the Path content isn't added to the 
current PATH one as windows does (improved w/ no duplicates).

did you setup cyglsa ?
what is the value of whoami from the "Windows XP Support Tools" ?
=> /cygdrive/c/program\ files/support\ tools/whoami
under Vista, it's /cygdrive/c/windows/system32/whoami

whatever you wanted, the idea was here and I just wanted to help you to 
optimize your work.
anyway, I do it for fun, so, please, be more gentle next time and don't 
fire someone else for whatever reason.

your script takes 15s while mine takes 1s only, so, learn about it.
