? I didn't have any problems reading the attachment.

This shouldn't be a problem. Cygwin uppercases everything that it finds
in the environment when a program is run directly from windows.
Cygcheck is not a cygwin program so you wouldn't see this behavior in
its output. It looks like cygcheck was just run directly from a cmd
prompt.

It couldn't find make but it did find other standard cygwin programs so
the PATH should be ok at least in that regard.
