Cygwin doesn't remove it.  Login does and rightfully so.  For the
default scenario, running inetd under a privileged account and switching
the user context, you'll get *your* WIndows variables back by Cygwin's
new mechanism.  For your scenario, running inetd under ytour account, no
user context switch, I suggest to simply set the desired Windows
variables in your .profile.
