Cygwin distribution versioning

[Randall R Schulz]

Tim,

The "cygcheck" command can be used to print detailed information about 
all your installed Cygwin software ("cygcheck -s", "cygcheck --help", 
"man cygcheck"). The Cygwin DLL itself can be identified with "uname 
-a". Most of the executable programs in Cygwin will disclose their 
version when invoked with "--version" (or a variant: "-version", "-v", 
"-V" etc.).
