Hi!

  I noticed that the cygwin openssh implementation does not preserve
Windows *user* environment variables upon ssh login for that user.
However, it does preserve the Windows *system* environment variables.

  I resorted to manually adding the *user* environment variables to
~/.ssh/environment, but I was wondering if there is a better way.

  An easy way to get the user environment variables, is to use the
Cygwin regtool as below. However, you still need to manually edit the
result, as the registry stores the environment variables unexpanded
(with %, %) and the $PATH variable needs special treatment, because it
can occur both as a system variable and user variable.

  I am curious if there are any better ways - I had hoped this was
'built-in' behavior of ssh.
