setup + cygcheck

When I run 'cygcheck -s -v -r' (as adminstrator), part of the output
contains:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\Installed
Components\d:/cygwin 
....
  binutils = 20000625
  gcc = 0002.0095.0002.0002
  cygwin = 0001.0001.0001
....

among other items.

These answers are not correct. /etc/setup/installed.db shows:

binutils binutils-20000722-1.tar.gz 3370561
gcc gcc-2.95.2-2.tar.gz 6172267
cygwin cygwin-1.1.3.tar.gz 1331394

(ok, gcc is correct).

Three things:

#1) should cygcheck be updated to show the new setup database in
/etc/setup/installed.db, instead of the old database in HKLM?

#2) should setup (the new one) remove the old database from HKLM?

#3) shouldn't cygcheck show the installed program info regardless of
whether you're running as Administrator or not?
