Well, here's the revised list of what I think should be kept:

   ALLUSERSPROFILE
   COMPUTERNAME
   COMSPEC
   CYGWIN
   OS
   PATH
   PATHEXT
   SYSTEMDRIVE
   SYSTEMROOT
   WINDIR

Can we agree on that?

OK by me.

IMHO, cygwin may be use to remotely launch windows programs, whatever they are, they may also need all the others "legacy" windows environment variable, so, they should not go.

variables like :
COMMONPROGRAMFILES
COMMONPROGRAMFILES
PROGRAMFILES

are not user aware, so why you don't want to keep them ?

also :

NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE
PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER
PROCESSOR_LEVEL
PROCESSOR_REVISION

are less important but may be useful un one way or another,
at least NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS.

why don't you remap TMP and TEMP to the target user's one ?

PS : why don't you fix patch instead ?
