By default, cygcheck eliminates duplicates in the list of DLL
dependencies, even if they previously appeared at a deeper level of
dependency nesting. Adding the -v option causes it to list all
dependencies without eliminating duplicates (except that there is a bug
that causes the following line:
Warning: C:/cygwin/bin\cygreadline6.dll hides C:\cygwin\bin\cygreadline6.dll
to be repeated quite a few times, but that's something to be fixed
separately). So, the solution would be to use "cygcheck -v program" in
the g-b-s based scripts and to select from the output lines with exactly
two leading spaces.
