Just for this question: if the Cygwin DLL always handles it no matter what, then I think these should be dropped. If they aren't dropped, I'd say at least sshd would need to override them. I don't want to enable PermitUserEnvironment just to deal with these two and sshrc can't be used to change the environment. Another idea would be to prefix WIN_ to all inherited variables so any Cygwin program wanting to use them could pull them in as needed. As I said, I'm trying to keep Cygwin and its environment separate from Windows as much as possible, but others have different ideas about this and would probably want the opposite. Maybe some CYGWIN setting would allow to do one or the other as needed (or always do it, but control the prefix), but that's of course extra code to maintain and test.
