Yes, I agree with that. My point is that the detection performed by configure.py is still useful in case a default is not set in the OS. Indeed, in this case you still have a viewer instead of nothing. This is most important on Cygwin because one could use tetex, which does not register any viewer for DVI, as an example.
You are talking about a Cygwin specific situation here. On Windows, the detection of UNIX applications doesn't make any sense.
What is the correct behavior on Cygwin? Should the Cygwin UNIX tools get priority or the Windows file associations? Are there any Cygwin guidelines for this?
