According to Pedro Izecksohn on 7/17/2008 9:55 PM:
| "SHELL The full pathname to the shell is kept in this environment variable.
| If it is not set when the shell starts,
| Bash assigns to it the full pathname of the current user's login shell."
|
|   SHELL is not being exported to the environment on Cygwin.

Not a bug.  There are two namespaces - shell variables and environment
variables.  If SHELL is not in the environment when bash starts, then bash
does not stick it in the environment; it is up to you to do 'export SHELL'.
