And even beyond this, the cygcheck output shows that the "update" done
was actually an installation in C:\cygwin, which left the original
installation in C:\cygwin\home as orphaned.  Best to just get rid of
the whole installation there unless there is something that's really
needed.  And if there is, I recommend copying over the needed data
files to the new location and deleting the old.
