Hi,

Corinna - I don't know if this is a good idea or not, but should
it be an aim of Cygwin to use as many GNU original programs as
possible rather than writing our own (our in the collective noun

Judging by the following:::
/--
$ cygcheck --help
Usage: cygcheck [OPTIONS] [program ...]
-s, --sysinfo = system information (not with -k)
-v, --verbose = verbose output (indented) (for -s or programs)
-r, --registry = registry search (requires -s)

the GNU version instead.
Ah, well I've no idea about how GNU our version is. :}.
