'setx.exe' a CLI utility on Vista and XP system (2000?), allows you to set an evironment variable, say, CYGWIN_ROOT, and/or CYGWIN_BIN, that percolates up to the System or User Enviroment variable space. It comes with Windows. Wouldn't this make more sense than messing with the registry directly. 'setx' can be run from a Cygwin shell. I've tried it. It works (Vista Home Premium 64b with Cygwin 1.5).It's not like in Windows where you can add something to the linux-registry, "/etc", or path-specific part "/etc/profile.d" and have other apps pick up this information. It would make more sense to put it in a registry environment variable.What do you think?
