I'll make the change but it won't have the effect you think it will.
I guarantee it.  I will even make a snapshot and then you can watch
in horror and amazement as setting the environment variable has no
effect.

And for an answer to the riddle of why this won't immediately do what
you want, try this in the winsup/cygwin directory:

  grep -i getopt cygwin.din

(Remember not to put the -i at the end!)
