Sorry for inaccuracy, I wanted to write:
Cygwin application has environment variable for each drive letter to
remember current DIRECTORY.
Here is example:
!C:=C:\Program Files\cygwin\bin
!L:=L:\home\kudrna\test\z
!S:=S:\
!T:=T:\

I'm not sure where those variables come from.
But if the program is compiled with -mno-cygwin those variables do not 
appear.
Do you mean that the variables are present but hidden in that case?
