I've no strong opinion, either way; these look reasonable as
defaults, though, and `TERM=msys' probably isn't particularly
useful.

I tend to use Cygwin, for remote sessions, (or KDE-Cygwin, when
I want X-Window for a remote Linux host).  I've taught my Solaris
boxes to recognise `linux' as a TERM type, and I set this in my
`.profile' for Cygwin.
