1) I think it is OK, but environment set in a shell must overwrite everything
   in registry.
   One can look at the registry as a environment variable set by the CDE
   environment at startup.
2) But cygwin is 'Unix' like - why not to use some default file for it.
   it is more 'UNIX' like to use files instead of registry.
