I was on vacation and I'm also not the area maintainer for windows-nat.c.
I commented to http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-04/msg00347.html
because what Pierre was doing looked wrong to me.

Eli's patch is ok, IMHO, but it's a pity that Pierre never followed up
to http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-04/msg00351.html since that
means that now setting environment variables works in Mingw, but not in
Cygwin. So, as far as I can see, PR #10989 should not have been closed
yet.
