What is a concrete example of a > problem introduced by Emacs setting this env var? It is not your business (or anyone else's but the user) to set that environment variable. Despite the appearance, setting things there is a lot more akin to giving an option on the kernel boot line. It only takes effect when the cygwin1.dll is first loaded and can't be changed later as long as at least once Cygwin process is runnning. > FWIW, I have added (setenv "CYGWIN" "nodosfilewarning") to setup-cygwin.el. > That seems to take care of the problem without, AFAICT, creating other > problems. But if you know of problems that it introduces, please let me know. Don't. You might override other settings that the user wants to take effect or at best produce a confusing no-op. You'd be much better off if you would use cygpath to convert to POSIX instead.
