HOME, PS2, PS4 -- 'man bash'
LANG -- info gettext
CYGWIN -- cygwin user manual.

all  those  variables  belong  to different programs -- shells, cygwin
kernel,  various  support  libraries, so asking for their list is like
asking  "where  can  i find a list of all system registry settings for
windows" -- i doubt anyone have such list.

i  believe only "CYGWIN" is the one that supposed to be tweaked by user.
the  two exceptions are "HOME", which is used when emulating nonexistent
/etc/passwd  file,  and  "TZ",  used  if you want to specify time zone
different from windows default.
