Ultimately, I just have to make strace and cygcheck understand the
cygwin arguments and environment variables.  Then we won't need this.

I would appreciate it if people would check out the latest snapshot to verify if I actually got this working in all scenarios (directories mounted with -X, -x, not mounted at all, or mounted without -X and -x).

Does cygstart also need to be fixed? I've found that it doesn't propagate the full Cygwin environment when /bin is mounted in cygexec mode.


% cygstart -- /bin/rxvt -e bash -c "'env; read x'"

prints out a small set of environment variables when /bin is mounted in cygexec. When /bin is mounted normally, it gets the full environment.
