1) I think it is OK, but environment set in a shell must overwrite everything
in registry.
One can look at the registry as a environment variable set by the CDE
environment at startup.
2) But cygwin is 'Unix' like - why not to use some default file for it.
it is more 'UNIX' like to use files instead of registry.
