A vexing installation problem

[fergus@bonhard.uklinux.net]

With so many planet-sized intellects working away at this I am a bit nervous
about making yet another contribution of the style "how's this for weird?".
But

On my system I have so contrived things that I have exactly one (yes promise
and hope to die horribly) exactly one cygwin1.dll and there ain't nothing
else at all, anywhere. Cygwin is not installed. The dll (latest issue 1.5.12
but not a snapshot) lives by itself with cygcheck.exe in a subdirectory.
There is no mention of [cC]ygwin or [cC]ygnus anywhere in the registry.

Moving to that subdirectory and typing
	cygcheck -s
gives
	Warning: There are multiple cygwin1.dlls on your path
in the output.

Weirdly (?) the "Cygwin DLL version info"

 1114k 2004/11/10 .\cygwin1.dll
    Cygwin DLL version info:

is provided *twice*, and then comes the Warning message.
