I think this is the way to go...
If you're only interacting with cygwin and linux at this point, you should be safe. Solaris and the other Unixes can be a real pain about the whole ^H vs ^? thing, but Solaris has gotten a lot better in the last few years and Unix has largely disappeared (I haven't had to interact with a Unix box in a decade or so).
I concur here too. Solaris always gets this wrong IIRC. Plus I grew up on HP_UX so between those older Unixes I probably came up with that setting had it's been carrying on ever since...
