It's by design of sshd, right now. Even though cygrunsrv propagates
this environment to the child applications, sshd doesn't.
This is a change to sshd which had been requested upstream. The main
developers felt that propagating all SYSTEM environment to the
unprivileged child applications has to be treated as unsecure.
Therefore I implemented to propagate only the core Windows environment
to child processes back in 3.9, AFAIR.
