SHELL.

Today I discovered the NT port of emacs uses "SHELL" if set, so it
ends up getting its shell set to /usr/bin/zsh.  Emacs looks for
c:\usr\bin\zsh.exe, but it is really c:\cygwin\usr\bin\zsh.exe.

The solution was to clear the SHELL env var, since I didn't want emacs
using my cygwin shell.

HOME is also probably a good idea to convert into DOS form.
