It is some time that my Cygwin installation does not set those variables 
any more, and indeed they are all EMPTY.. Perhaps is the TL installation 
process that sets them, at least temporary. And if so, why that does not 
occur with 1.7.7? Why not with other files under TL installed tree?

Ciao,
Angelo.
