Actually, it does not work the same. I have lowercase environment
variables set when bash starts up and cygstart seems to capitalize them.
:-( I don't want them captialized because I use the vars as
abbreviations to long directory paths. For example,
export ws=~/path/to/some/dir
I then can use $ws in xemacs.
BTW, is there a better way to handle abbreviations like this? There are
other disadvantages when adding a new path because it then needs to be
added to process-environment and to all my shell-mode buffers.
