I am talking about LANG env settings, which we can freely change for the cygwin apps to act differently (as we need).
You can't, sorry.
You can. That example was supposed to show, that you can freely change LANG variable and cygwin utils, which relies on it, acts appropriately.
Well, you can't change it freely in the sense of Emacs setup ("workaround"), which requires, that LANG should be set the same as the current system locale in order for the Emacs to pass unicode/non-system-encoding args.
So, i'm asking the same question again -- why do you think it's not worth to fix this Emacs setup restriction in order to work with cygwin apps like it's intended from cygwin/cmd shell (setting on the fly as needed whatever supported locale)?
