How can I control which variables get translated Dos->Unix when starting
a CYGWIN binary from Windows and which variables get translated Unix->Dos
when starting a DOS/Windows binary from CYGWIN ?
http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#USING-PATHNAMES says that
HOME, PATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are converted, but it doesn't say how to
control any additional ones in runtime. (I.e. I know I can always edit the
sources of Cygwin and recompile it, but I believe that runtime list of
converted ENV VARs would be *very* handy to *many* of us out there ... )
Thanx,
Jan
