/etc/profile in BASH

Question:
In Cygwin 1.1, why are the last two lines of the installed /etc/profile the
following?
test -f ./.profile && . ./.profile
test -f ./.bashrc && . ./.bashrc
As described in the BASH MAN page, it would seem that BASH does this already
after reading /etc/profile. Is this required because of the implementation
of Cygwin on MS-Windows?
