No, since it gets read for all shells, not just interactive ones. The
only reason the prompt is set at all in /etc/profile on Cygwin is that
there is no init/login process to initialize it. But you can always
place a script to that effect into /etc/profile.d if you absolutely want
it there anyway. I think putting these in the ENV file is preferrable.
