That's equivalent to "export TEST=test".

Define them in the right place: $HOME/.profile instead of 
$HOME/user/.profile. And make sure there is no .bash_profile.

Actually .bash_profile would be even better. And .bashrc would be even 
better better (since it's recommended to leave .bash_profile empty 
except a source statement for .bashrc (which is the default in Cygwin 
anyway)).
