I realize that I can create my own env variables. I just think that Cygwin
should provide them so that programmers writing software can rely on the
variable name and value. If there is no consistent value when Cygwin is
installed then dozens of tools that work on other bash solutions for Windows
Cygwin doesn't create an environment variable in bash to indicate that the
platform is Cygwin under Windows.
This causes compatibility problems when running various tools. Most of my
issues have been with Python tools running Windows Python.
