I appreciate your doing this Brian.  I won't be able to really investigate this
and comment on it until Saturday but I wanted to respond to your email, at least
so you would know the status.  I think that, on a quick inspection, the cygcheck
stuff is fine (and I like the rewording of the help) but I have a different idea
for how to handle the package_grep.cgi part but I need to do some more research.
