Re: [h-e-w] Patch to Gnuserv for NT

[Guy Gascoigne - Piggford]

On my setup I don't have either of these variables set.  In fact I'm not 
really seeing a single cygwin related environment variable that is only 
created by running under a cygwin shell.  The direction that I'm heading 
in right now involves another command line option to bypass the path 
expansion.  Then an alias in bash and the problem goes away.  It's not 
perfect, but it doesn't break anything.

Currently I'm rolling in a few changes (mostly from Lennart Borgman) and 
will have a new version for folks to try out fairly soon (perhaps later 
today).
