I also have done my homework now and see that >> 'cygwin is a valid `system-type', which means we don't need the ""s. Cygwin is a valid system-type meaning an Emacs built for the cygwin environment, but that does not mean that users of the native W32 Emacs port do not want to run Cygwin shell scripts or commands. If it makes sense for "" to be in exec-suffixes (I'm not sure that it does, but someone who knows Cygwin better than I do can probably explain why it is needed), then it should be in there, probably conditional on SHELL being bash or sh.
