I'd like to see both possibilities in the next version of cygwin and whoever wants can use one or both of them. If one leaves the registry alone, only the env vars get used. Perhaps it would be useful to have another env var available like CYGWIN_REGISTRY=0|1 to indicate, whether one wants to use the registry or not - this could speed up things and would allow to temporarily disable the registry entries.
