Does cygstart also need to be fixed? I've found that it doesn't 
propagate the full Cygwin environment when /bin is mounted in cygexec mode.

% cygstart -- /bin/rxvt -e bash -c "'env; read x'"

prints out a small set of environment variables when /bin is mounted in 
cygexec. When /bin is mounted normally, it gets the full environment.
