Um..., thanks, I guess. Although, this information is not what I
was unclear about.
cygcheck would be the prefered program to use if one were to
take this route. It does print the filename it is working on. But, this
seems to be a very round about method, and I did not want to take
the time to put together said shell script.
I think looking in some setup log file would probably be more fruitfull.
I do not know which one or how, and I do not want to take the time to
figure it out. Thus, I thought another interested party might chime in.

Maybe, but I'll let a setup expert figure that out.
