Release: B17.1

I downloaded the cygnus SDK yesterday, and I am very pleased that these 
tools have been ported to Win32.  I soon attempted to port my tools that 
run under Linux and Irix to gnu-win32, and I ran into a problem.

The "env" command does not set environmental variables as it is supposed 
to.  For example:

   env ONE=one TWO=two echo_1_2

where echo_1_2 is a sh script:

   #!/bin/sh
   echo $ONE $TWO


will print nothing.  I have also noticed that it is not possible to 
export lower case environmental variable at all.  I have seen this 
elsewhere in the list.

Any Ideas?
