I'm still not really convinced that it's necessary. It would be a
simple change to setup.exe, but the content of cygwin.bat is hardcoded
into setup and I don't like the idea to set the language in the
installer tool.
Not the language, only the encoding. The common proposal was LANG=C.UTF-8, so just manifesting explicitly what is the internal default anyway. I don't think it can be harmful and even if it may not be necessary for many applications, it may be helpful for some and thus avoid trouble; also it's the usual thing to do by Linuces that use UTF-8 as a default.
