I always add the environment variables I want an SSH shell to have
when I install it.

However, if you are using the ssh-config-host script, that may not be
as easy (I cannot remember and since it is already installed, I don't
want to run it again as it might hose something up).

You can however add the environment variables you want to the Windows
registry directly.

Basically, look in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<ssh
service>\Parameters\Environment\

Create REG_SZ values with the names of the environment variable you
want to set and make the value data what you want it set to.

For example, I usually end up with:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\sshd\Parameters\Environment]
"CYGWIN"="TTY NTSEC SMBNTSEC BINMODE CODEPAGE:OEM"
"TEMP"="/tmp"
"TMP"="/tmp"
