You manage the manual install by using tlmgr to add/remove/update collections or individual CTAN packages whenever you want. The distro install is not intended to be used with tlmgr. It provides one package for each TeX Live collection, which will be updated periodically (by me). You could probably figure out how to make the Cygwin install use some of the files from your manual install by setting TEXINPUTS appropriately. See http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2012-February/031126.html for some hints.
