Are you going to ask me for "cygcheck -sr" when we meet again here :-)

Btw, the next thing I did, was mounting e:/cygwin2 on /usr/xlocal
and creating /usr/xlocal/{bin,etc,lib} (while using e:/Cygwin) :

@@ PATH=/usr/xlocal/bin:$PATH which --version
@@ echo $?

@@ PATH=/usr/xlocal/bin:$PATH strace which --version | grep Carlo

Sort of "A mingw executable (strace) helping a Cygwin executable
(which) finding its libraries :-)
