Interference with Astex and Scilab


I just installed cygwin 1.3.2 under NT4.0 using setup.exe. Everything
went OK, and the install log seems OK too.

I click on the Cygwin icon and type "ls".
Surprise, three files which have nothing to do  with Cygwin are listed:

Scilab.hist, site-lisp, and SITE-LIS.
The first is used by Scilab, a Matlab clone written at INRIA, Paris.
The two others are part of Astex, a french TEX distribution.

I then type "pwd" and read: cygwin/c/ast/astex/emacs. I also discover
that no "home" directory has been created by setup.exe.

Exiting cygwin, I find that a cygwin/c/ast/astex/emacs has indeed just
been created in my Astex directory. If I rename it and reenter cygwin,
this same directory is created anew.

I have tested cygwin software in a very limited fashion (vim and gcc,
mostly) and find that they perform satisfactorily.

My guess is that cygwin uses the HOME environment variable, which I had
previously defined in order to use a WIN port of Emacs along with Astex.

This seems to be confirmed by the cygcheck file which is appended. This
file also contains references to Borland C directory and files.

So my question is: how can I resolve this conflict betwwen two programs
that use the same environment variable ?
