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.
