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

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.
