Re: TEXMF variable needs to be set on Cygwin

[Mats Bengtsson]

For the record (it seems from private emails that Charles suffered
from some temporary problems):
This is never the correct solution! This variable will be set
automatically in Cygwin (for those interested in the technical details,
it's done in the file /etc/profile.d/lilypond-profile.sh, which is
sourced automatically when you start Cygwin).

The only real source of problems we have seen on the mailing list,
related to this setting is for people who have TexLive installed
in Windows, since this installation sets the same environment
variable. Workarounds can be found in the mailing list archives.
