Which are non-interoperable Windows-only totally meaningless language 
and territory values to Cygwin startup or any Cygwin, Linux, or Unix 
program based on Unix libraries or code, so everything might map to the 
system default locale at best, or hardwired built-in C/POSIX locale at 
worst.

That custom locale would be better if developed as a fr_CH replacement 
or supplementary Windows locale.
