This step is not a requirement. I don't recommend it.

This step is also not a requirement. I don't recommend it.

From your cygcheck output, I have to conclude that 'setup.exe' didn't run
its postinstall scripts. You can verify this by looking in
'c:\cygwin\etc\postinstall' for any scripts without a '.done' suffix.
My guess is you'll see allot of those. Why that would happen in your
case, I cannot say. One common occurrence that can result in this is
<http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.bloda>. If you have any
of the listed software or similar AV/anti-spam/anti-spyware, you might
try uninstalling it for the purposes of the Cygwin installation. If
you don't have any BLODA, then you may be able to solve your problem
by just rerunning 'setup.exe'. This should cause the postinstall
scripts to be run. If that doesn't work, you can invoke
'c:\cygwin\bin\bash' directly, cd to '/etc/postinstall' and run each
of the scripts yourself. This is brute force but should be enough to
get your new installation properly configured.
