Thanks to Larry and Igor.

I was indeed wondering why the "current" and "new" columns for vim and tcsh 
appeared to be versionally reversed in the cygwin setup.exe program.  I 
didn't see "test" anywhere but I now understand the context.  It now also 
appears clear why setup.exe insists on "upgrading" those utilities to 
previous versions whenever I invoke it while online.  I've looked for a good 
guide to setup.exe but could not find one on the cygwin site.  Live and 
learn, I guess.
