Greetings, Katsumi-san!  It has been a long time since we have seen you on
the VM forum!

Yes, Cygwin Emacs will regard cygwin as its system-type.  Windows Emacs
regards windows-nt as its system-type.  We can still run Cygwin processes
from inside Windows Emacs, obviously.

The minimal change would be just:

(defcustom w3m-command-environment
[...]
         (if (eq system-type 'windows-nt)
             (cons "CYGWIN" "binmode"))

I presume that "binmode" is there for a good reason.  So, no need to modify
it.
