Just Cygwin and Cygwin application DLLs.

Install the cygcheck-dep package and use the script /usr/bin/cygcheck-dep.

Yes, I think so.

In the future, please follow the instructions, which say to send the cygcheck 
output as an *attachment*.  This is to avoid bogus hits when people search the 
archives.

The only things that jump out at me are the ZoneAlarm warning (which you already

installed.
