I agree. It's not the user's fault that Windows applications and Windows itself add paths to the environment using quotes and trailing backslashes. I applied a patch which removes those, but only when Cygwin actually fetches the Win32 environment and initially converts the path lists like %Path%. This is not done when calling the cygwin_conv_path_list function from the application.
